Winner of the 2014 Newbery Medal Holy unanticipated occurrences A cynic meets an unlikely superhero in a genre-breaking new novel by master storyteller Kate DiCamillo. 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.Binding Type: Hardcover

Heartfelt Gesture of Appreciation
Size: Classic Cozy Collection, Color: "Thank You" Card
The Unboxme Thank You Gift Box proved to be the epitome of a thoughtful and appreciated gift. I recently chose this box as a thank you gift for my mother-in-law, and it was met with genuine delight and gratitude.
The Warm + Cozy theme of the box was not just a label; it encapsulated the essence of the carefully curated items within. From the moment she opened the box, my mother-in-law was greeted with an array of cozy delights that radiated warmth and care.
The inclusion of quality items, such as a plush blanket, scented candle, and gourmet treats, showcased the attention to detail in selecting items that truly contribute to a cozy and comforting experience. The blanket, in particular, was not just a token gesture but a genuinely luxurious addition that she immediately embraced.
The packaging was not only aesthetically pleasing but also conveyed a sense of thoughtfulness and care in the presentation of the gift. The attention to detail in the arrangement of items and the quality of the box itself elevated the entire unboxing experience.
What made this gift even more special was its versatility. The Warm + Cozy box is suitable for various recipients, including clients, coworkers, bosses, neighbors, and employees. Its universal appeal speaks to its well-rounded selection of items that can bring joy to a wide range of individuals.
In conclusion, the Unboxme Thank You Gift Box for Women, Warm + Cozy edition, is more than just a collection of items; it's a gesture of genuine appreciation and care. My mother-in-law's positive reaction is a testament to the success of this thoughtful gift. Highly recommended for anyone looking to express gratitude with a touch of warmth and coziness.

Sent to friend recovering at home from a heart attack who messaged me, “ Your incredibly thoughtful gift just arrived. Thank you so much sweet friend. It smells sooo good! Looking forward to slipping on the cozy socks and sipping a chai. I feel your love.” Thank you for offering a suitable way to express encouragement and comfort when words aren't quite enough.
