Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamilloMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
A freak vacuum accident leaves the squirrel, Ulysses, with super strength and smarts. Flora is his self-appointed sidekick and protector.
So I made a goal of reading the Newberry winner for each year. Of the ones I read as a child and before making this goal as an adult, I remember liking them all. And the first few I read for this challenge, I enjoyed. Which made this one even more disappointing. Flora was disrespectful and annoying. The repetition of things got on my nerves. Granted, I only made it to Chapter 26 (about 35% through the book), so maybe there is redemption for the book in the end. Hopefully? I mean, it did win a Newberry in 2014. But I'm not willing to invest more reading time in finding out.
