Reach for this book when your child feels like a lonely observer of the world or is struggling to process a change in family dynamics, such as a divorce. Flora is a self-described cynic who uses comic book logic to protect herself from disappointment, but her life changes when she rescues a squirrel with burgeoning superhero powers. Through her bond with the poetic Ulysses, Flora begins to move past her emotional defenses to find genuine connection. This Newbery Medal winner is a quirky, laugh-out-loud adventure that balances absurdist humor with a deep, tender exploration of what it means to open one's heart. It is perfectly suited for middle-grade readers who appreciate offbeat characters and stories that take their big feelings seriously without being overly sentimental.
