Each book tells the story from the perspective of a different character.
Reviews
On Oct 7 2014, a reader said:
It was interesting to see how the strings all came together at the end. A tale about a mouse falling in love with a princess is quite a premise, but DiCamillo is so good, I think her book Edward Tulane is even better.
