Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures
by: Kate DiCamillo
DiCamillo, K., & Campbell, K. (n.d.). Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures.
Flora thought she was alone in the midst of her parents divorce. She didn't get along with her mother and saw her world crashing down beside her-- until she saw her neighbor vacuum up a squirrel in their backyard. Flora decides to save the squirrel and assumes her biggest problem is her mother, too. As the story continues, self-discovery is explored and the friendship and journey that they take together open a world of possibilities and answers amidst the confusion that currently exists.
This book's major theme of self-discovery is the biggest idea I took away from this book. I like DiCamillo's writing style and the stories she is able to produce which is why I would recommend this book to my students, or consider incorporating it as a read aloud or for class discussions.
Novel Study (must pay)
