My book is called Flora and Ulysses The illuminated Adventures By Kate Dicamillo
Flora, a 10 year old, natural born cynic and a comic book reader springs into action when her neighbor sucks up a squirrel with a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner caused the squirrel to get superpowers. Flora explains to Ulysses (the squirrel) that he must only use his superpowers to fight injustice, or something. Flora's mother Phyllis Buckman thinks talking to a squirrel is a sign that there something wrong with her and decided to kill Ulysses for Flora's own good. Meanwhile Flora, Ulysses and Flora's father George Buckman who seems to never smile since the divorce with Flora's mother head out and finds themselves on a adventure involving a attack cat, giant donuts, poetry, jelly sandwiches, a boy struck blind and a doctor who tells stories of hope and uncertain mysteries.
My favorite part was the poem Ulysses wrote to Flora using the words from the adventures they had together because I thought it was a very sweet and a amazing poem.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and humor.
