They will face opposition, archenemies, and giant donuts. And Ulysses' new powers do spark an unexpected chain of events, setting Flora on a wild adventure filled with a variety of quirky characters, including a dramatic divorced romance novelist (who also happens to be Flora's mother) a doctor of philosophy from Blundermeecen Flora's father, who shares her love of comics her improbably named, poetry-loving neighbor Tootie and William Spiver, Tootie's pedantic, eccentric great-nephew who insists that he is temporarily blind. If Flora knows one thing about superheroes, it's that they always have a job to do, and people to save. He looks like a squirrel (albeit a slightly bald one, thanks to the vacuum cleaner), and thinks like a squirrel ("Food?"), but now the newly dubbed Ulysses has the powers of a superhero from one of Flora's comics: He can fly! Lift enormous objects! Type! He even writes poetry. To the squirrel.Įxcept.he's not quite an ordinary squirrel anymore. So when her next-door neighbor's birthday present, a Ulysses Super-Suction, Multi-Terrain 2000x vacuum cleaner, accidentally suctions up a hapless squirrel, she doesn't hesitate-she administers CPR. Ten-year-old self-proclaimed natural-born cynic Flora Belle Buckman has studied enough of her beloved comics to know that it is imperative to be prepared for the Terrible Things that can happen to a person.
