The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

wooww....this is book so awesome

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo (Goodreads Author), Bagram Ibatoulline (Illustrator)


"Someone will come for you, but first you must open your heart. . . ."

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

Swans Are Fat Too

My brother won giveaway in goodreads and get this book

Swans Are Fat Too by Michelle Granas

_______________________________________________

Natalia Lanska, formidable Polish pianist, is dead. No one is really sorrowing, except maybe her granddaughter Hania, whose own career as a concert artist never took off due to a terrible weight problem. Feeling unwanted, Hania arrives in Warsaw for the funeral hoping for a warm welcome from her relatives. Instead, they saddle her with their appalling children, decamp, and refuse to return. Hania’s situation is at first improved and then complicated when a neighbor ─ the very correct, very austere descendant of an old Polish family ─ asks her to proofread an amateur history project. Hania sets to work with a will, and Pan Doctor Prince Konstanty Radzimoyski is surprised when his ideas get more editing than he bargained for. Typing pages of the past, rediscovering her native city, and playing the piano all contribute to taking Hania’s mind off her problems, but can’t change her awareness that the children need help and that her growing attachment to her employer will only give her pain. The summer Hania spends between love, hostility, and the weight of history tests her resourcefulness, but her fresh ideas and readiness to carry on brighten the lives of her new acquaintances. Still, no one, least of all Hania herself, expects that her beautiful qualities will make Konstanty forget her figure and other excess baggage.

_______________________________

From the time you were young, you've had a dream that one day you would do something amazing.

Several chapters into your life later, you wonder where all the days went and why you've lost or forgotten the dream that you had since you were young. You've searched and at times sacrificed security and sanity to find it. Even so, you only have more questions than answers and a memory that serves to make you both smile and cry.

Where did the youthful heart that hoped and dreamed without bounds and believed nothing was impossible go? Where did the youthful spirit that could create options that did not exist go? Where did the youthful heart that would play with an open mind, open heart, and carefree passion go? Where did the youthful spirit that thrived on challenges go? Where did the youthful heart that believed in magic go? Where did the youthful spirit that was enthusiastically and passionately in love with life go?

Sign of The Throne

Abby is an ordinary girl haunted by dreams of an ivory castle, blood-thirsty monsters, and a striking stranger. Working as a babysitter for a family of mythology lovers in wealthy Newcastle Beach, California, she struggles to define herself among the elite class while trying to make sense of her strange visions. Upon meeting David, the doppelgänger of the mysterious young man in her dreams, Abby’s life is changed forever.

Encountering the queen of Cai Terenmare, a magical kingdom in a parallel world, Abby learns of an evil lord hell-bent on usurping the throne, the murder of Cai Terenmare’s king, the Solas Beir, and the kidnapping of the Solas Beir’s infant son.

As the kingdom struggles to endure, the queen shows Abby the full extent of her destiny. She must convince her mysterious crush, David, that he is the lost heir. While braving attacks from the dark lord’s sadistic minions, David must realize his true identity and return to Cai Terenmare to claim his throne before time runs out, lest the evil that was temporarily locked away be unleashed, threatening to destroy both the kingdom and all of humanity

Darkness is beguiling...and power always comes with a price.

Adopted by loving parents, David Corbin had no idea his life as he knew it was a lie. Then he met a girl. Abby Brown freed David from the spell keeping him from the truth, that he was the lost heir to the throne in a magical realm. 

Even though he got the girl and gained a kingdom, David had no clue about the unfathomable power he would inherit, nor did he realize how much he would have to sacrifice to keep the throne.

If there is any hope of winning the war against the deadly Blood Shadows, David and Abby will have to journey to the outer edges of the realm to secure the loyalty of the four Oracles. Along the way, they will learn just how seductive darkness can be.

“Just like a dream I ’ve found on the street—tak peduli kau arsitek atau bukan, arsitektur paling agung tetaplah bangunan bernama kehidupan. 

Penari atau DJ, rapper atau pembalap liar, apapun, all is good, jadilah arsitek untuk kehidupanmu sendiri... 

Seperti pepohonan evergreen yang selalu hijau, waktu dan musim bisa mengubah segalanya, tapi tidak dengan siapa dirimu sebenarnya...” - Sean Walker

Menyimpan mimpi untuk mengubah dunia dengan kejujuran, jutawan muda Sean Walker mengubur masa lalu gelapnya di balapan liar hutan evergreen bersama kisah misterius lenyapnya Billy. Ketika kehidupan barunya sebagai pembalap nasional sekaligus mahasiswa biasa di departemen arsitektur malah mempertemukannya dengan sahabat-sahabat tak biasa:

Nathan Evan—mahasiswa miskin nyaris dropped out yang berjuang menjadi DJ berbekal sepasang turntable tua, di tengah trauma akan kematian adiknya yang tertembak dengan kepala pecah dalam perkelahian gangster di club kota. 

Rachel Scott—mahasiswi arsitektur teladan yang tak pernah percaya pada mimpi. Hingga George Thomas—mahasiswa Departemen Musik yang membawa handgun kemana pun, rapper mantan penghisap ganja yang lahir dari kerasnya kehidupan kumuh ghetto penuh kriminalitas.

Cerita anak-anak muda yang mempertaruhkan sebuah keyakinan, mengejar mimpi, dan mencari arti kejujuran yang akhirnya malah mereka temukan di jalan jalan pinggiran kota. Mulai dari kisah imigran gelap yang menjadi pembalap kriminal di pinggir pelabuhan, corat-coret pemberontakan dalam graffiti ilegal di dinding lorong lorong kota, cinta seorang stripper, hingga penari dan rapper-rapper jalanan yang mengejar mimpi di bawah garis kemiskinan. Mulai dari nyaris terbunuh berandal-berandal kota yang berjuang bertahan hidup, anak kecil buruh perkebunan yang mengajarkan makna terbang tanpa sayap, hingga cerita kakek tua yang menjadi penyanyi jalanan di atas kursi roda. 

Semua akhirnya menguak filosofi indah di balik kisah lenyapnya Billy serta mimpinya dan Sean yang tak pernah berubah: mimpi untuk mengubah dunia... dengan murninya sebuah kejujuran hati

Rasi memberi senyuman, tetapi cowok itu malah tidak mengacuhkannya.

“Raja?" sapa Rasi.

“Sori?” Kening cowok itu berkerut.

“Kamu Raja, kan?” tanya Rasi lagi.

“Hmm, enggak usah sok kenal, deh,” balas Raja dingin.

Rasi melengkungkan bibirnya, cowok keren memang sering kena amnesia! “Enggak usah nyebelin gitu, deh. Kamu kan yang nanya-nanya soal fotografi di atap BIM kemarin? Kalau aku salah orang, biasa aja, deh.” 

Raja merespon perkataannya dengan wajah kaget. Namun sedetik kemudian, ekspresi Raja kembali sinis. “Denger ya, aku enggak kenal kamu!” geram Raja penuh penekanan.

Sejak ketemu cowok itu, Rasi merasa level hatinya naik turun seperti roller coaster: kadang berbunga, kadang kesal setengah mati. Sama seperti sikap Raja yang jago sulap: kadang baik, kadang nyebelin. Ada ya orang yang seperti itu? Rasi hanya belum tahu kalau di balik semua kejadian ada misteri tersimpan. Dan takdir menuntun Rasi masuk ke labirin yang entah ke mana berujung ….
