Book description
Flora Belle Buckman doesn't believe in hope. Not after her parents' divorce. Not after her mother became a "soulless" poet. She's all sharp edges and comic books-Terrible Things Can Happen to You!-until a vacuum cleaner swallows a squirrel. A squirrel. And Flora, the cynic, acts. She saves him. But Ulysses isn't just a squirrel. He's reborn. With strength. Flight. And misspelled poetry. That's when the world cracks open for Flora.
This isn't just a story. It's a lightning strike. Kate DiCamillo's words, delivered in this audiobook, crackle with the raw energy of a comic book come alive. You hear Flora's sarcasm-cold, precise, like ice on glass. You feel her walls crumbling when Ulysses, this tiny, impossible hero, starts talking in rhymes that almost make sense. "I am a squirrel," he declares, "and I am not a squirrel." The narrator nails it-Flora's voice is the perfect mix of hardened and tender, the kind that makes you laugh through tears.
The magic isn't just Ulysses. It's the way the story moves. The audiobook uses the format. You hear the thump of Flora's fist hitting her comic book. You hear the whirr of the vacuum cleaner, the scritch-scratch of K.G. Campbell's black-and-white drawings (you can almost hear the pencil on the page). It's not just reading-it's experiencing. You're in Flora's room, smelling stale coffee and old paper, as Ulysses' new powers-literally-change everything.
And Flora? She's not just saved. She's unlocked. The cynic learns to hope. Not grand, sweeping hope. But the kind that lives in a squirrel's shaky poem, in a neighbor's stubborn kindness, in the quiet space between a mother's silence and a daughter's courage. This audiobook doesn't just tell you about a "capacious heart." It makes you feel it open, wide and aching, right in your chest.
DiCamillo's genius? She makes the impossible feel inevitable. The vacuum cleaner accident. The squirrel's rebirth. Flora's transformation. It's all real in this audio journey. You don't just listen-you belong to the moment. You hear Ulysses' voice, small but fierce, whispering, "I am not a squirrel," and you know. You know the world is bigger than your pain. You know hope isn't a fairy tale. It's a squirrel flying home with a heart full of misspelled poetry. And for the first time, Flora-and you-believe. This isn't just a Newbery winner. It's a lifeline, delivered in a voice that won't let you look away. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll finally, finally believe in the impossible.
