The third book in the Olga series, Olga Out of Control! will not disappoint fans of this science-loving protagonist. As the discoverer and caretaker of a new species of animal, the Olgamus ridiculus, Olga’s days are never boring. The most recent surprise discovery is that Olga’s beloved pet Meh has given birth to seven baby Olgamuses. Olga is a strong, smart, resourceful protagonist, with an endearing supporting cast of characters (including her favorite pierced and tattooed librarian, Ms. Swoop). With the perfect balance of scientific inquiry, humor, and support from her friends, readers will delight in watching Olga navigate through her adventures with the newborns. Elise Gravel’s illustrations are bold, with a limited color palette, eliminating an excess of visual information, and allowing readers to enjoy the storyline without distraction. Recommended for ages 7-11, this hybrid of middle grade fiction/graphic novel will easily grab the attention of already established Olga fans, reluctant readers, as well as those simply looking for a light, entertaining read.
