Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures

AH this was adorable and surprising and sweet. It reminded me a little bit of Lemony Snicket, with its celebration of language and its straightforward approach to nonsense, but without all the noir. And with a superpowered squirrel. I loved it. I loved Flora's way of thinking in comic book terms, and the fraught relationships between Flora and her parents, and William and his parents all felt so genuine. Just a lovely look at how children and adults can misunderstand each other and act in ways that are hurtful even out of love, and how if you're lucky you can work things out with some late night poetry.
