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.
