Young Flora is a little girl with an obsession with her comics that her father introduced her to. Reading them is a nice distraction from her parents being separated. She lives solely with her mother who is a writer and thinks the comics are not good enough for her daughter. Outside Flora house, an ...
She stood at the window and watched as the squirrel was vacuumed up. Poof. Fwump. ""Holy bagumba!" said Flora. - from the back cover Not to go overboard or anything, but I LOVED this book. I mean, the main character (besides the little girl, Flora) is a SQUIRREL. When I was a kid, my favori...
I'll be honest, and let you know that I tried once before to read Flora & Ulysses. Back when it first came out, actually. Perhaps it was because I was trying to read it on my Kindle, or perhaps it wasn't quite what I needed at the time, but I wasn't able to finish. However, this read-through was a...

Overall this book was a disappointment. I thought the plot was thin and the characterizations were shallow. Not what I expect in a Newbery Medal winner.
A friend let me borrow this awhile ago. It seemed like the only time I was reading was while eating breakfast, and I didn't want to risk spattering milk on someone else's book, so this languished.After the announcement that this had won the 2014 Newbery medal, I decided I'd better finish (and return...
The book is marvelous. DiCamillo's text is, as always, about a broken family and the grief of everyone affected. And as with others of her books, there is a critter, a wonderful, most unexpected critter (here a squirrel named Ulysses who has developed superpowers) that brings together a new sort of ...
