Ollie Ollie in Come Free!

"Ollie Ollie in Come Free!

Ollie Ollie in Come Free!
Nicole Rocheleau
Publish America
ISBN: 1-421-0433-5
Fiction, Young Adult
Reviewed by Olga Sprague



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.
