Flora and Ulysses is this year's Newbery Award winner. I love this author. Some of my favorite works were written by her. I was still hesitant to read this, though. A squirrel gets sucked up by a vacuum cleaner and gets superpowers. It did not appeal to me. Even though I knew DiCamillo would weave her beautiful themes and language into it, I was not excited about it. When it won, though, I had to read it. I have to say it was an interesting, funny read with some memorable characters in it.
