Flora & Ulysses

the Illuminated Adventures
Mar 23, 2018Valancy1 rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
I quite enjoyed this book. It was funny and quirky and I thought it was sweet. There were some eccentric characters and unexpected plots twists. I loved the goofy little squirrel, Ulysses. The story had some depth to it and touched on some serious issues, without getting mired in them and losing its sense of lightness. I also really liked the accompanying illustrations which added greatly to the story's charm. I read this book with my book club, but some of the children didn't like it. The tone is quirky and off-beat and while that greatly appealed to me, this may be a bit of a love-it or hate-it type of book.
