Last night we finished reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Dicamillo, once again, is simply amazing. Although the style is simple enough for kids, the character is believable, and the book is heartbreaking all the way to the last page. It’s a story of a toy rabbit who gets lost, and learns what it means to love. To tell you more would be unfair. You’ve got to read it for yourself.
Dicamillo is also the author of The Tale of Despereaux and Because of Winn-Dixie. I think that, of the three, I’ve enjoyed this one the most.
