Flora and Ulysses Chapter 23 Summary

Enter the Villain

  • Flora's mom tells her dad, George, that this squirrel is bad news. 
  • Not only is it weird for their daughter to have a pet squirrel, it's also gross because it could be diseased—ew—so she thinks they should get rid of the squirrel (read: kill it with a shovel) before this goes any further. 
  • Phyllis hands George a sack and a shovel to do the job. 
  • George gasps, and is not sure he's on board with this plan. 
  • Hearing this, Flora gasps, too. How could her mom want to kill her superhero friend? 
  • Even worse, how could she think William was the bad guy when her mom is clearly her squirrel's nemesis?
