The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane


This and Despereaux are my favorite books ever. Despereaux since I have good memories reading it with my kids, but Edward because of my constant hope that carries from page to page as Edward completes his physical and emotional journey. I laughed, cried, got mad, was sympathetic, and probably experienced every other feeling there is when reading a book.


Edward is an uppity porcelain rabbit doll who belongs to Abilene. When they go on an ocean voyage, he gets thrown overboard by some mischievous boys. This marks the beginning of his journey. Will he be rescued? Will he remain aloof? Will he learn what it means to truly love? I hope you get lost in it as much as I did!
