Flora And Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures

"The day comic book aficionado Flora Belle Buckman saves a squirrel from death-by-vacuum cleaner, a new superhero emerges … and it’s the squirrel. The aftermath of her parents’ divorce has left Flora a cynic, but Ulysses, the flying, poetry-writing squirrel, makes her a believer. Though their adventures are wild and wacky, the heart of the story is about a girl adrift and how she finds her way home. Pencil illustrations and comic book panels by K.G. Campbell complement Kate DiCamillo’s text perfectly. After reading Flora and Ulysses, you’ll be asking when the next installment is due. (For ages 8 to12)"
