The Tiger Rising (2001), about two lonely children determined to release a caged animal, was nominated for a National Book Award. The Tale of Despereaux (2003), starring a mouse who dares love a princess, won the coveted Newbery Medal and was made into a major animated film. And The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (2006), wherein a china rabbit learns the endurance of love, received a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award. Now comes a boxed set offering paperback digest editions of all four award winners: Because of Winn-Dixie The Tiger Rising The Tale of Despereaux The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
