Holy unanticipated occurrences!

G. Campbell. Includes an excerpt of Kate DiCamillo's newest novel, Raymie Nightingale.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We’re huge fans of Kate DiCamillo’s poignant, emotionally complex middle-grades novels. Flora & Ulysses is no exception, and it might also be the most hilarious of all her books. The heroine, Flora, is a “natural-born cynic” who loves superhero comics, much to the chagrin of her cranky, romance-novelist mother. When Flora meets a squirrel that has supernatural powers (including the ability to write poetry), she senses that amazing things are about to happen—and meets a cast of sweet and eccentric but lonely characters. DiCamillo’s delightful use of vocabulary (Malfeasance! Obfuscation! Capacious!) adds to the story’s fun, warmhearted messages about friendship, family, and love, as do K.G. Campbell’s clever illustrations. It’s enough to melt the defenses of even the most cynical among us.
