The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
by Kate DiCamillo
A vain china rabbit is lost overboard and passes through many hands over many years — a fisherman, a hobo, a dying child — learning to love.
A story about animals and children, moving and thoughtful in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- A death or grief
- Serious illness
None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
