description: 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 poetryand 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 formata 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.
