Another wonderful book by Kate DiCamillo; possibly the most magical of her novels. This book deals with her usual themes of motherless children who struggle to find themselves, but it expresses the hope that the impossible not only happens but must sometimes be hoped for, waited for, and counted upon.
Quotes:
Leo Matienne had the soul of a poet, and because of this, he liked very much to consider questions that had no answers.
It is not to be borne, the weeping of soldiers. Something is amiss in the universe when a soldier cries.
“Magic is always impossible,” said the magician. “It begins with the impossible and ends with the impossible and is impossible in between. That is why it is magic.”
“It’s the impossible,” said Hans Ickman. “The impossible has happened again.”
