Flora and Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo follows Flora who saves a squirrel that has been vacuumed up. When the squirrel comes to life it suddenly has cool squirrel powers. They then hang out together in strange ways.
This was a great book. The characters and setting made for an interesting story that played out in a delightful manner that was wacky, full of imaginative stuff and lots of other things that a good book should have. The child who read this book was very excited and plowed through it and was sad when it ended.
Appropriateness: This is a great book that could be enjoyed by elementary and middle school audiences. There is a bit of romance and the occasional use of the term shut up.
