Flora and Ulysses

  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.

Review written with the help of a great fifth grader.  Review copy provided by Amazon Prime.
