Read by Tara Sands.
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.

quirky kids, quirky humor submitted by camelsamba on June 24, 2014, 8:06pm Holy unanticipated consequences! What happens when a vacuum cleaner sucks up a squirrel, who is then rescued by a slightly bored, comic-book-loving cynical girl? The resulting tale is strange (flying, poetry typing, super hero squirrel!), funny (sometimes laugh out loud funny), vocabulary enriching, and endearing.
