February

Kennady will be our hostess in February, and she has chosen The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. DiCamillo is the same author as The Tale of Despereaux, which we enjoyed reading last year.

Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely.

And then, one day, he was lost.

Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle — that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

Due to activity night at church changing to Thursday, we are changing book club to the fourth Wednesday. We will meet at Kennady's house on February 24 at 7:00 PM.
