Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo

2.0

This was not my cup of tea. I just found the story so unrealistic (and that's not even concerning the squirrel with super powers). I could easily have gone along with the squirrel with super powers; the kids in the book just didn't read as realistic. I work at a busy library and I meet all kinds of kids. I have never encountered a child that spoke like either Flora or William. Honestly, I don't know many adults that would speak the way they did either. It kept pulling me out of the story and it took me over two weeks to finish reading this. I forced myself to finish it, but unfortunately I can't say that I enjoyed it any better after the ending.
