Reviews
Voted one of the 100 greatest children's books of all time * BBC *
'The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane' by Kate DiCamillo absolutely blew me away. If ever there was a story for these troubling times, this is it. A tale of loss, love and hope. One of the most beautiful, and profound, books I've read in years. * Abi Elphinstone *
