Flora & Ulysses 弗洛拉和尤利西斯：图画冒险故事（2014纽伯瑞金奖） ISBN9780763660406 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

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

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. Campbell.

媒体评论

Newbery-winner DiCamillo is a master storyteller not just because she

creates characters who dance off the pages and plots, whether epic or

small, that never fail to engage and delight readers. Her biggest

strength is exposing the truths that open and heal the human heart. She

believes in possibilities and forgiveness and teaches her audience that

the salt of life can be cut with the right measure of love.

—Booklist (starred review)

Original, touching and oh-so-funny tale starring an endearingly implausible superhero and a not-so-cynical girl.

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Despite

supremely quirky characters and dialogue worthy of an SAT prep class,

there’s real emotion at the heart of this story involving two kids who

have been failed by the most important people in their lives: their

parents.

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Rife with

marvelously rich vocabulary reminiscent of the early superhero era

(e.g., "Holy unanticipated occurrences!") and amusing glimpses at the

world from the point of view of Ulysses the supersquirrel, this book

will appeal to a broad audience of sophisticated readers. There are

plenty of action sequences, but the novel primarily dwells in the realm

of sensitive, hopeful, and quietly philosophical literature.

—School Library Journal (starred review)

Eccentric

characters, snappy prose and the fantastical plot give this delightful

novel a giddy, over-the-top patina, but the core is big and hopeful,

contemplative and bursting with heart. No small feat, even for a

superhero like DiCamillo.

—Shelf Awareness

In "Flora and

Ulysses," longtime fans will find a happy marriage of Mercy Watson's

warmth and wackiness and Edward Tulane's gentle life lessons. In Flora,

they will find a girl worth knowing, and one they will remember.

—The New York Times Book Review

Full

of Ms. DiCamillo's dry, literate wit and bursting every so often into

action-packed comic-strip sequences illustrated by K.G. Campbell... [a]

funny, eccentric novel.

—The Wall Street Journal

[L]augh-out-loud

funny, tender, difficult and hopeful all at once. ... Cynics beware,

this book is meant for those open to joy, wonder, loyalty and friendship

of all stripes.

—The Huffington Post

Kate DiCamillo's newest book ... is that rarest of all treasures, a truly inventive and appealing children's middle-grade novel.

—The Boston Globe

[A]

fast-paced, funny tale. ... Like all of DiCamillo's books, Flora &

Ulysses is filled with adventure, but also plenty of humor and soul. ...

DiCamillo has seamlessly blended comic-book elements and a zany cast of

characters into a thoroughly original, heartwarming tale.

—BookPage

This

is a fun and clever tale of an unlikely hero uniting an even more

unlikely cast of characters. Kate DiCamillo strikes again. Each

character is well-drawn, the story is packed with fun references and

asides. It's a perfect blend of poignancy and magic.

—Fall 2013 Parents' Choice Book Awards

DiCamillo

does here what she does best, which is tell a deceptively simple story

that elucidates big truths. ... And though the ideas are sophisticated,

the storytelling is engaging enough to lure in a reader who might be put

off by a doorstop of a novel. This slim volume also features

illustrations by K.G. Campbell... [which] jell seamlessly with

DiCamillo's prose.

—Austin American Statesman

Beautifully

written... The accompanying illustrations and cartoons are enchanting,

and the remarkable DiCamillo demonstrates she has storytelling power to

spare.

—The Chicago Tribune

Though their adventures are wild

and wacky, the heart of the story is about a girl adrift and how she

finds her way home. Pencil illustrations and comic book panels by K.G.

Campbell complement Kate DiCamillo's text perfectly. After reading

Flora and Ulysses,

you'll be asking when the next installment is due.

—NPR Books

Much

like its furry hero, this swiftly paced tale is full of bold leaps and

surprising turns. ... K.G. Campbell’s occasional drawings supplement the

narrative and brilliantly interpret the characters, from the partially

bald Ulysses to chain-smoking Mom. As with her previous big-hearted

novels, DiCamillo proves once again that "astonishments are hidden

inside the most mundane being," and gives us another fantastic story.

—The Washington Post

Beautifully

written... The accompanying illustrations and cartoons are enchanting,

and the remarkable DiCamillo demonstrates she has storytelling power to

spare.

—The Chicago Tribune (syndicated from Tribune Newspapers)

Brilliantly

written and graphically engaging, it’s filled with adventure, poetry,

and compassion. Worth reading, and equally appealing for kids and

adults.

—The Boston Globe, Best of 2013
