Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo

4.0

This book was adorable and had some very poignant lessons about life. I have to say that I was surprised to have the mother come around at the end, and be a positive figure in Flora's life. Too often in children's books (or teen books as well), parents or authority figures are the bad guy forever. Of course a lot of people don't change, but I was happy to see Flora's mother redeem herself and express her feelings for Flora. The illustrations were cute and I loved the superhero squirrel.
