I would say mine is the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. My teacher read it to the class in third/fourth grade and I fell in love with it. It might be because I loved dolls and stuff like that and related to Abilene. I loved seeing Edward going on all of this adventures and I believed for the longest time that he was like a character in Toy Story. I think my favorite part was when he was with this brother and sister. Although many people don’t like it due to its non-kid friendly topics (abuse, manipulation, death),the book just reminds me a simpler time in my life and when I just started to realize reading was fun.
Bloomability. I wanted to go to a Swiss boarding school, learn to ski, make friends from around the world, and grow into my own person away from overprotective parents.
That was such a good one! I also loved Walk Two Moons. I would’ve loved to travel cross-country with Sal’s grandparents.
