It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic book Terrible Things Can Happen to You!, is the just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry — and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart. From #1 New York Times best-selling author Kate DiCamillo comes a laugh-out-loud story filled with eccentric, endearing characters and featuring an exciting new format — a novel interspersed with comic-style graphic sequences and full-page illustrations, all rendered in black-and-white by up-and-coming artist K. G.
当叛逆的小女孩遇上神奇的松鼠侠,一切皆有可能!
故事的开端便是一出惨剧,可这惨剧所引发的惊人后果,绝对出乎你的意料。松鼠被一台呼啸而来的吸尘器吸了进去,叛逆的小姑娘弗罗拉救下了这只松鼠,并将它带回了家。重生后的松鼠变得力大无穷,不仅会飞,还能用弗罗拉妈妈的打字机写诗,这深深激怒了弗罗拉的作家妈妈,她决心铲除这只松鼠!一直对妈妈心存不满的弗罗拉一气之下离家出走。弗罗拉能否再次拯救这只松鼠?她与妈妈的关系又会有怎样的变化?
故事在看似天马行空的想象背后,传达出寻找“爱”与“归属感”辛苦却温暖的过程。
正如作者凯特迪卡米洛所说:“我希望这本书能带给读者很多思考:如果破镜可以重圆会如何?如果有可以消弭彼此隔阂的方法会如何?如果只要我们想,便可以把爱人留住会如何?如果我们有勇气做这一切又会如何?如果这些假设都成立,这个世界会发生什么呢?”
