Ollie must learn to be brave, or end up a bowl of soup.
Ollie Mackerelli is determined to face his fear of the dark, once and for all, but he gets more than he bargained for when his therapist turns out to be an actual monster. To make it even worse, Ollie is transformed from a boy to a possum and locked in a cage.
With no way to call for help, Ollie must learn to be brave (with the help of some furry friends), or he will be the main course.
Adventurous and imaginative, Brave Ollie Possum is the debut children's story from author and screenwriter Ethan Nicolle.

I loved the characters - over-the-top but relatable, humorous, magical. They were what children's book characters should be. The story is a common one, a story of self discovery and overcoming, but told in a way that is like a full length feature film and not a gimmicky pamphlet to "buck up and be brave." The story whips around with twists and turns, yet it has a solid unmoving anchor.
The greatest achievement in this book is Mr Nicolle's ability to describe. his command to capture imagery in word is perhaps the greatest I have seen. The word choice shows a keen skill of observation and prepares younger readers and listeners into a world of creativity.
I am disabled, bedridden, and often very afraid - of pain, of, decline, of the future. This book helped me find comfort, smile, and perhaps be a bit braver. This book took me back to my youth and pain-free innocence. I can sing no higher praise than that.

Nicolle crafts an inventive and heartfelt narrative about confronting fears, with a twist that turns the very concept of therapy on its head. Ollie’s transformation from a boy to a possum in a world rife with tangible danger and unpredictable twists was not just a story for our kids – it became the highlight of our trip. Every pit stop, every conversation seemed to inevitably circle back to Ollie’s adventures and the valuable lessons of courage.
But what truly set this audiobook apart was the voice performance. It’s a tall claim to make, but Ethan's narration might just be the best audiobook rendition we've ever had the pleasure of hearing. With a range of voices that brought each character to life, the performance drew us into the world of Ollie in an unforgettable way.
In conclusion, 'Brave Ollie Possum' is more than just a story; it's an experience. Whether you're planning a family road trip or just looking for a gripping tale for the young (or young-at-heart), do yourself a favor and dive into this adventure. Your only regret will be that it had to end.

Regarding the audiobook specifically, I cannot say enough good things. The author delivers the perfect narration with wonderful and hilarious voices perfectly suited to each character. I am sometimes wary of audiobooks read by the author, since skill at writing does not necessarily translate into skill at narration, but that was definitely not an issue here. If Mr. Nicolle ever gives up writing, it seems he could have an equally successful career in voice acting.
TLDR; 10/10 Great story, perfect narrator. Cannot recommend highly enough for readers of any age.

A wonderful story

I loved the book, it's a charming story about family, friendship, and overcoming fear. My kids (and me, too) got very attached to the main character, and the suspenseful chapter endings had them begging me for "just one more chapter." A few random observations: I appreciate that Ethan didn't shy away from larger words. I (usually) enjoy having my kids expand their vocabulary. The book has a couple over-the-top silly but gross descriptions. If you have a weak stomach, caveat emptor. The descriptions of fear and how to deal with it are pretty profound and you can tell Ethan put a lot of thought into them. Finally, I like the audiobook specifically because I get to hear how Ethan imagined the voices and emotions in every scene. It added an extra layer of detail, like watching the director's commentary of a movie you really liked. Anyway, it's a wholesome, well-structured story that your kids will enjoy both now and continue to appreciate as they mature. An instant classic for you or your family - highly recommended.
A book that you will enjoy just as much as your kids
