Flora & Ulysses
Flora saves a squirrel from a vacuum cleaner and discovers that the accident has given him extraordinary strength and unusual literary knowledge. Naming him Ulysses, she joins forces with a comic superhero companion while resisting adults who misunderstand both of them. The story balances danger with the ordinary loneliness of a girl who wants to be seen. Funny and heartfelt, this novel suits family reading about friendship, imagination, and unexpected rescue.
