Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures is a 2014-2015 Bluebonnet Book Award Nominee by Kate DiCamillo. This story revolves around a young girl named Flora, or Flora Belle as her annoying mother calls her. Flora is a lonely girl who doesn't have many friends and confides in her comic books for all the answers to life's questions. One day while enjoying her favorite comic book, Flora sees her neighbors enchanted vacuum run around the backyard and suck up a innocent squirrel. Flora decides to save the poor squirrel after reflecting on how to do CPR from her beloved comic books and learns that this is no ordinary squirrel. The squirrel is a real life superhero who she names Ulysses. This story takes you on an adventure through Flora and Ulysses eyes and shows you what determination and love can really do. I highly recommend this book if you are an animal lover and/or love superheroes. It's a fast read that will be sure to delight readers of all levels! Holy bagumba!
