Description
Flora was reading her comics indoors, starting off the summer break right, in her mind. Her mother, however, did not view comics as “real books”, and convinced Flora to sign a contract agreeing to read things other than comics. While Flora was thinking inside about this predicament, she looked out of her window just in time to see a squirrel get sucked up by a giant, out of control vacuum! Now was her chance to implement the life saving techniques found in the Terrible Things Can Happen to You comic. Once the squirrel gains his conscientiousness, he is no longer the same squirrel that got run over. Something has changed, in almost a superhero type of way. Flora desperately wants to keep this squirrel and nurture it back to health, but can she convince her mother to let it stay in the house? There are short comic-strip-like illustrations sprinkled throughout the book. The end of the book includes six questions to consider about the story, followed by a sneak peek of the title, Louisiana’s Way Home. 231 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
