Holy unanticipated occurrences! A cynic meets an unlikely
superhero in a genre-breaking new novel by master
storyteller Kate DiCamillo.
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 #1 New York Times best-selling author Kate
DiCamillo comes a laugh-out-loud story filled with
eccentric, endearing characters and featuring an exciting
new format — a novel interspersed with comic-style graphic
sequences and full-page illustrations, all rendered in
black-and-white by up-and-coming artist K. G. Campbell.
