Flora and Ulysses

The Illuminated Adventures

By: Kate DiCamillo

Narrated by: Tara Sands

Soon to be an original movie on Disney+. The beloved 2014 Newbery Medal winner by former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Kate DiCamillo.

Holy unanticipated occurrences!

It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic book Terrible Things Can Happen to You!, is the just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry - and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart.

From number one New York Times best-selling author Kate DiCamillo comes a laugh-out-loud story filled with eccentric, endearing characters.

Like watching Nickelodeon

This book was too hyper for me. A ton of things are happening but nothing really. The main character's mind jumps here and there so quickly, maybe it is enjoyable for someone under 10. I'm a quiet sort and I wouldn't have liked it as a kid. it's like one of those loud shows on Nickelodeon.

Pretty good book

It is a nice book with an interesting storyline don’t recommend the movie I like the story progression and character growth but if you have a kid I think it’s worth a read if you like more action books I don’t recommend

the songs the poetry

the squirel poetry was great the lady from Wonder Mason was hilarious. I like how it showed how squirrels are shorter than humans.

Sweet but definitely for children

Very good, would have absolutely loved it as a kid. However, the language gets kind of tiresome and it is far too expensive for a 4 hour listen.

WoW!Never thought a audible voice could beso good

it was kind of a confusing book but if I had to take a test I would try to get 100% because it's so good and one of the best

Review

Flora and Ulysses is a heart felt, humorous book and I enjoyed it very much.

Love this book

My daughter and I loved this book. We laughed, and teared up. Her school suggested it for summer reading. we've read the book and listened to it on audible twice.

Kids laughing and learning.

Great story of love and redemption. Laughs abound and vocabulary grows. Who would have thought a runaway vacuum cleaner could create a super squirtle!!!

Loved it👍🏼

Great Read! I loved the story it was so cute! I highly recommend this book!
