Never fear!! Book Riot is here!! And like any good superhero-squirrel, we have a list of books like Terrible Things That Can Happen to You for your kids to read in its place. They may not be the exact same book, but they are definitely as funny and inspiring as Terrible Things That Can Happen to You. And maybe they’ll help your little Flora (or Ulysses) when they’re in trouble too. Words are power and facts are comforting. Flora & Ulysses is already an entertaining story but Flora’s character is truly rounded out with her passion for Terrible Things That Can Happen To You. So, until DiCamillo writes this book into our reality, make the most of the list we already have.
