Once, in a house by the street in Egypt, lived a porcelain rabbit named Edward Thorne. The little rabbit was quite proud of himself, and with good reason, as he belonged to a girl named Abilene, who cared for him and revered 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 pile of garbage to a campfire at a homeless shelter, from the bedside of a sick child to the streets of Memphis. The experiences along the way leave us stunned—how even a heart as fragile as a porcelain rabbit can lose love, learn to love, and find love again. This book won the 2006 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction.
