Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo

Quirky, whacky, full of love and rich vocabulary. Only Kate DiCamillo would mix a lonely girl, a romance-writing mother, an unusual, sad father, a weird neighbor, a boy whose sadness has blinded him, a squirrel, a vacuum cleaner, super heroes and a vivid imagination. It's fun, touching and would make a wonderful read-aloud.
