![]() I have to admit, I wasn't sure I would love this film, and I wasn't sure Lydia would either. I promise, there's more to the story.įlora and Ulysses Review: A Mom's Opinion She (no spoilers) befriends a squirrel (Ulysses) who has….SUPERHERO powers. The story? Follows Flora (a hardcore comic book fan) and her life as she navigates her parent's separation. The book is an upper elementary school aged book (think grades 3-5) but the plot? Is kid friendly (nothing racy or super mature). Flora and Ulysses is based on the award winning book Flora and Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo (she also wrote Because of Winn-Dixie and The Tale of Despereaux for my fellow children's literature fans). I'm really excited to share alllll my thoughts on the film adaption, what ages this film is appropriate for, Lydia's opinion, and even some behind the scenes insight from the Flora and Ulysses cast and crew.įirst, the outline. We got to not only preview Flora and Ulysses, but I to sit down with the cast, creators and the author of the book the movie is based on. YASSSSSS! The next new release is coming to Disney+ and let's be honest……we're all looking for new family friendly entertainment these days. Using the characters problems instead of your own in a sense in order to connect and support your student during tough moments.Looking for a review on the new Disney+ film? This Flora and Ulysses review will help you to decide what ages the movie is perfect for! This book could be a very good book for any student who might be going through a similar situation at home. Flora is the same, Flora claims to be ‘cynical’ ever since her parents divorced and at the beginning of the story does not get along with her mother if at all. William is a child who still trying to cope with his fathers death and new people in your life can be scary. William’s father passed away and his mother is with someone new who does not call William by his name instead calls him ‘Billy’ which eventually drives William to the brink and in act of spite he drives his mother’s boyfriends truck into a pond. William Spiver, the neighbors great nephew was a very accurate mirror of reality. For example, the Dad played in important role as he supported Flora and her friendship with Ulysses and he supported Flora’s mother even when Flora said she wanted to move out with her father and leave her mother’s home. ![]() I did not speak of all the characters in my summary but there was definitely more. This book did a really good job in portraying the world of the characters. She has a heart to heart moment with Flora and tells her that she is the most important thing she has no matter who Flora might be friends with. When she goes missing one night Flora’s mother comes to a realization that she made a mistake. Her reasoning is the following Flora in her eyes is already kind of a ‘weird’ kid and she does not want others to see her as ‘weirder’ for being friends with a squirrel. Her mother does not approve of Flora’s relationship with the squirrel and pulls a stunt or two to try and get rid of it. A squirrel who acquired his superpowers by being vacuumed, a squirrel who can fly and write poems. In a weird sort of amusing way she meets what I would call her sidekick: Ulysses. Her mother and her don’t have the best relationship, her parents are divorced and she gets along more with her father. She loves reading comics, something that her mother disapproves of. The book goes a little something like this, Flora is the main character and she considers herself a ‘cynic’ she claims to have no feelings and only worry about herself. The chapter book I chose to read was that of Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures.
