Flora & Ulysses

Superhero squirrel ignites cynic girl's hope.

"Flora & Ulysses" is that rare gem that delights both young readers seeking adventure and adults who appreciate layers of meaning. Its unique blend of prose and comic-style graphics creates an engaging reading experience that's visually stimulating and emotionally uplifting. What's more, this tale of an accidental superhero squirrel and a young girl might just inspire you to find the extraordinary in the mundane. Kate DiCamillo's storytelling is an affectionate nod to the inner skeptic in us all, reminding us that wonder can be found in the most unlikely companions.

Description

It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw it coming – the vacuum cleaner, that is. As for self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, she has read every issue of the comic book Terrible Things Can Happen to You! so she is just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight and misspelled poetry. And Flora will be changed too as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kate DiCamillo comes a laugh-out-loud story filled with eccentric endearing characters and featuring an exciting new format – a novel interspersed with comic-style graphic sequences, plus full-page illustrations, all rendered in black-and-white by a talented new artist.
