RATING BREAKDOWN:
Overall: 5/5-- Phenomenal! I loved every page.
Creativity: 5/5-- Who would make the protagonist of their story a vacuumed up squirrel? Need I say more?
Characters: 5/5-- Loved Flora! Wanted her to move in with me! I'd take her and Ulysses in a heart beat.

This is a book that we received as a review copy. I'm reading it so I can review it and send the review to the editors. 

Good so far!

Fun and cute! I read it to 2nd graders. They loved it! Made me think about my grandpa in a new light too.
