Emmy is a typical twelve-year-old girl--insecure, funny, always trying to fit in, wondering why things always happen to her at the most inopportune time. Not that it surprises her, mind you, she just wonders about it. She lives with her mom, an Emmy award-winning prime-time actress, her dad, the best maxillofacial surgeon in the state, and a very special woman named Shulie. Her best friend Ryan lives right down the street from her, and the love of her life just moved into the house that faces hers. Typical right? Mom, Dad, best friend, crush. But when Emmy climbs a tree and gets stuck, suddenly things become not so typical. “Ollie Ollie in Come Free!” is the first in the Emmy Bolan series.

An Excellent Read and Gift to Any Young Reader...Older Readers would enjoy too!,

This review is from: Ollie Ollie in Come Free! (Paperback)
As an educator and a youth volunteer, I like knowing what's out there for young readers. The title of this book caught my eye as I remember playing hide-and-go-seek and hearing the call "Ollie Ollie In Come Free" to alert all of us who were still hidden to come on in. Once I opened up the cover, I found it difficult to put the book down. The characters came alive in my mind. I would finish one chapter immediately wondering where the story was going and had to keep on reading!
Ms. Rocheleau does a fabulous job of placing the reader into the mind of a pre-teen and takes us on an unforgettable journey through the quirky, heart-touching, mysterious and laugh-out-loud moments of Emmy Bolan and her friends Ryan and Gavin. I thoroughly enjoyed the book! I grew up in the 80's reading Judy Bloom and saw how Ms. Rocheleau offers a similar depth and enjoyment to today's young readers. This book reminded me of those awkward yet exciting years of becoming a teenager...not that I want to revisit those years now, but its fun to reminisce. I would highly recommend this book to any young reader knowing that Mom, Dad, siblings, teachers, etc. would enjoy it as well!
