As spirited as the beloved childhood jingle, when all are safe and free to
just be, Ollie Ollie in Come Free! is Nicole Rocheleau's first book in a
promising middle reader series featuring strong, modern female characters
and heartening relationships between adults and children.
Daring, fun, and awkward, 12 year-old Emmy Bolan's stories are based on her
knack of finding situations. Shortly facing a new school year and
contemplating her crush on the new boy next door, Emmy, often with her best
friend Ryan in tow, takes you from tree-tops to emergency rooms, filling
each encounter with quick humor, good solutions and positive feelings.
Set in modern day, upper-middle class America, and written in a simple,
youthful voice, Ollie Ollie in Come Free! is a read-aloud choice for parents
and for 9-12 year old readers wanting to enjoy a quick, fun story about
growing-up.
