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.
幽默的讽刺下深深的孤独感
评分3.82gr |reminds me of mr henshaw love children's books going (kind of) meta and intertextual entertaining and in this case educational remember when I believed and treasured every word in books dat fat cat haha
评分A "genre breaking novel"- both a graphic novel and a children's illustration book. (Every time when the squirrel uses his superpower, it turns to comic.) This book shows the ironies that a "cynic" enjoys expecting the worse, a "stupid squirrel" is a superhero. Also it shows a modern tendency of Children's Lit- family is not always benevolent.
评分Endearing Flora, endearing Ulysees
评分not sure if such contemplating work appropriate for young children. Indeed a beautiful piece of crafts though.
