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.

A lovely little story that ended much like I expected it would. This is what one might write if they were going to update The Velveteen Rabbit, but with a snarkier and more difficult character who still manages to have some whimsy in his own way.
Touching little book. Hits exactly the points you want a simple story to hit, in just the powerful but subtle way that it should. This is the kind of story that everyone wants to write, and everyone wants to read.
