About the Book
Kate DiCamillo has spent over two decades writing novels that trust young readers with big emotions, and this collection gathers seven of her finest. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane follows a haughty porcelain rabbit whose journey through loss teaches him how to love. The Tale of Despereaux, winner of the Newbery Medal, introduces a tiny mouse whose courage defies his size. Because of Winn-Dixie, a Newbery Honor book, tells of a lonely girl and the stray dog who helps her build a community of misfits and friends. The Tiger Rising, a National Book Award finalist, follows a grieving boy who discovers a caged tiger and finds the courage to face his own sorrow. The Magician's Elephant follows an orphan boy's search for his sister after a conjured elephant upends his village. The Beatryce Prophecy is a fable of a runaway girl, a foundling prince, and a goat with a taste for poetry, set in a world shadowed by superstition. Flora & Ulysses, DiCamillo's second Newbery Medal winner, follows a cynical girl and the squirrel she rescues after a runaway vacuum cleaner gives him superhero powers. Together these novels showcase DiCamillo's range, from whimsical animal fables to quiet, grounded stories about grief and belonging, rewarding readers who return to them at different ages.
