Once, in a house by the street in Egypt, lived a porcelain rabbit named Edward Tulane. The little rabbit was quite proud of himself, and with good reason, for he belonged to a girl named Abilene, who cared for him and adored him.
But then, one day, he was lost.
Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey—from the depths of the ocean to a fisherman’s net, from the top of a garbage heap to the campfire of a homeless man, from the bedside of a sick child to the streets of Memphis. The experiences along the way leave us astonished—how even a heart as fragile as his can lose love, learn to love, and regain love.
This book won the 2006 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Fiction.
