To describe the contents of OLLY OOGLEBERRY as warm, charming, humorous, and unconventional is an understatement. The number of smiles, laughs, and quizzical expressions giving way to satisfied understanding that break out during a typical reading are just some indicators of how much fun this book is to read. The author's moving forward explaining how he conceived of Olly's character at the age of twelve gives way to the tale Olly and his band of alien misfits heading off to save a tiny, seemingly insignificant planet called Earth. The author's storytelling and language make for a rich array of vivid characters. You'll meet creatures called Squizzleskwaks, Fiddlefunks, and the Kometen (who Olly enlists like reindeer to pull him across the galaxy faster than the speed of light). The success of the mission puts Olly and crew at risk, forcing them to eject and disperse to Earth. Each page is filled with colorful, unusual illustrations. In addition to the storyline, tucked in the corner of many pages are direct asides to the reader - some humorous, some containing genuine wisdom or fun facts. Upbeat, fun, clever, and uplifting, the story ends with us readers looking forward to what we hope will be the next installment in Olly Oogleberry's adventures.
