I didn't love this book as an adult. I thought it was kind of silly. However, I thought it was great as a kids book. It was funny an engaging. The comics really added to the story.
I also liked that there was a lot of advanced vocabulary included but it was sort of secondary to the story. I felt like a child could understand the story without understanding the advanced words, but might be encouraged to learn the words.
I liked how the characters changed throughout the story, and especially the lesson that the mother learned in the end.

Ellie's review about Flora and Ulysses
Flora and Ulysses was a funny and like a comedy. It had lots of comics in it that I liked because there were funny sayings on them.
The squirrel doesn't think exactly like a person, but he doesn't think exactly like a squirrel either. Sometimes he tries to save the world and sometimes he thinks about food. He also writes poems and flies into things.
Flora is natural born cynic, which means that she doesn't trust people to do the right thing. She doesn't like her Mom that much, or her Mom's lamp. Flora's Mom isn't very nice to her, and she doesn't like Flora's Dad or her pet squirrel, Ulysses.
Flora's neighbor, Tootsie, has a nephew named William Spiver. He says he is blind, but he isn't really. He is really smart. He is in love with Flora and he thinks the squirrel is weird.
Flora and Ulysses have lots of adventures that make the book exciting. A lot of Flora's ideas were funny, like "we are supposed to save the world!.. or something"
You should read this book because it's funny and really enjoyable to all those who like comics and fantasy.

Ellie's review of 100 Cupboards
The book was interesting and exciting. I was excited to find what was going to happen next. When Henry found the first cupboard, I wanted to find out what was behind it and to find other cupboards.
Henry's parents were mean to him, but they weren't his real parents, even though he didn't know that. They didn't care for him because they weren't actually related to him. Henry likes the farm better than his home with his fake parents, because it's more fun and he has three cousins there.
I would like to read the next book in this series because this was a fun action filled book.
