Abilene pushes on one of the boys and he misses the other, and so with that “Edward Tulane fell overboard.” Marshmallow is reading the part of Kate DiCamillo’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane where Edward finally has “the proper outlaw look”–now he finally looks “like a rabbit on the run”. On the ship, two mean boys grab Edward from Abilene and toss him around. Soon the Tulane family boards a ship that will take them to England, but Pellegrina stays behind.

When Pellegrina finishes her story, she comes over to Edward and says, “You disappoint me.” At the end of the story, the princess is turned into a warthog and then eaten. One night, she tells Abilene a story about a beautiful princess who did not love anyone.

He is very full of himself, and Abilene’s grandmother Pellegrina notices. When Abilene tells Edward that she loves him, he doesn’t give it a second thought, and instead thinks about the stars. When she goes to school, she wounds his pocket watch and tells him when she will come back. He has multiple suits that have holes for his tail, hats that have holes for his ears, and he even has a pocket watch that can be wound which Abilene, the little girl who owns him, does for him every day. Marshmallow’s Summary (with spoilers): Edward Tulane is Abilene’s china rabbit and he thinks that he is very civilized.
