My blog journey begins with Kate DiCamillo's Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures. This is a new book to Conn's media center. Flora Belle Buckman , a comic-reading self-professed cynic, rescues a squirrel from a neighbor's suped-up run away vacuum cleaner. When he is revived, Ulysses demonstrates super powers such as understanding human speech, communicating via typewriter, and the ability to fly. This was a fantastical read, complete with fabulous pencil drawings by K. G. Campbell. I recommend 4th or 5th grade check this out for a great read! And it's just been posted this morning as ALA's choice for 2014 Newbery Award!
