Holy unanticipated occurrences! Flora, a natural-born cynic with a penchant for comics and big words, has just saved a squirrel from a near-death encounter with a high-powered vacuum cleaner; now things have gotten a bit strange. Ulysses, as she calls him, starts to exhibit some very un-squirrel like behaviour. A very funny and imaginative story about friendship and loyalty with snippets of comic interspersed amongst the chapters to entice more reluctant readers.
