Book of the Week: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane


The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
by
Kate DiCamillo

Each week I plan on introducing you to one of my favorite books, or even a not-so-favorite-but-still-worth-reading book. 

This week, it's...
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by award-winning author Kate DiCamillo.  TMJOET tells of the adventure of a toy - a fine porceline rabbit named Edward - that happenstance passes from one owner to another, and the lesson he learns along the way.     

The book is a quick and easy read for a middle school student, but nonetheless powerful.  More than a few years ago, when my own daughter was in the 5th or 6th grade I read aloud the first few chapters to her.  She was hooked!  It only took her another day or so to finish it. 

Check it out!
