Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost. . . .

Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way, we are shown a miracle -- that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

I read this book in one day. I had been looking forward to it, as Di Camillo has yet to write a book I didn't love. However, the message of this book blew me away. Love has its costs and even after we lose love, we can learn to love again. This twist on the classic, the Velveteen Rabbit, is beautiful and poignant. A great book for adults as well.
