Long Story Short

I loved this book so much. It’s so good! Flora and Ulysses is about Flora who calles herself a cynic. And, says that she has no feelings about anything ever since her parents got a divorce. Her dad used to write comic books but they would never sell. Floras mother wrote books on her type writer. Anyway, one day there was a squirrel who got swallowed by Tutie Tickoms vacuum/Birthday present from her husband Mr. Tickom. Flora’s neighbors are the Tickoms. Anyway this is a really good book and I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Just two more things Flora thinks that her mother loves a lamp called Mary Ann more than her Flora. And, Flora gets a lot of help from a temporary Blind boy named William Spiver: The Tickoms nephew. 

 I thought this book was long and a little hard so I didn’t exactly enjoy it. My mom also read it and being more an advanced reader she said she enjoyed it. Which I get. So if your not an very very advanced reader I would not suggest this book for you. In a small town there lived a girl named Minli. Minli had a craving for adventure so seeking fortune she went to find out if there was a way or a chance that Minli could become rich or at least not poor. On her journey she meet a dragon who also needed help. So together they set off on a journey. To find out more read: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. By: Grace Lin.
