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, imaginative, and fantastically illustrated, Brave Ollie Possum is the debut children's story from author and screenwriter Ethan Nicolle.

What Reviewers Are Saying:

"A wild, imaginative tale with lively illustrations that readers will find humorous yet encouraging." -WORLD Magazine

"Brave Ollie Possum is fantastic. Overflowing with imagination and heart. Consistently surprising and really, really funny." -Brian Lynch, screenwriter of Minions, Puss in Boots, and The Secret Life of Pets

"Brave Ollie Possum is just what youth lit needs today: an aspiring hero, a sense of humor, and the kind of adventure that older readers will enjoy as much as the young!" -Doug TenNapel, author of Cardboard, the Nnewts series, Earthworm Jim, and Tommysaurus Rex

"A funny, inspiring story about learning to face your fears that my daughter and I loved reading together and helped her finally stay in her own bed at night." -Frank J. Fleming, columnist for The New York Post and author of Punch Your Inner Hippie

"Brave Ollie Possum is something special: a story that walks alongside children and all their faults, never talks down to them, and in the end affirms that love overcomes their deepest, darkest fears. At once deliciously zany and refreshingly honest, these pages spill over with adventure, danger, and laughter for kids and those of us who never grew up." -Kyle Mann, editor of The Babylon Bee and author of How to Be a Perfect Christian

"Brave Ollie Possum is a delight! I first knew of Ethan Nicolle as the co-creator of Axe Cop and his other comics, all of which are filled with wit and absurdist humor. In his debut novel, Brave Ollie Possum, he has shown that his talents transfer well to extended prose. Reading Ethan’s writing made me feel like I was reading the work of a modern-day Roald Dahl. It is sure to be a fun read for adults and children alike! Ethan isn’t afraid to take us into dark and scary places and find humor therein. If you liked 'Witches' or 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' you are bound to like this book." -Trevor H. Cooley, author of The Moonrat Saga, The Jharro Grove Saga, The Dark Prophet Saga, and Noose Jumpers

"A funny and original adventure about a boy’s quest to find courage... Generously filled with Nicolle’s gorgeous pen and ink illustrations." -Paul Noth, writer and cartoonist for The New Yorker

"Ethan's book is super creative and deals with a subject close to my heart: childhood fear. I read this to my children and they were riveted to the characters and story the entire time. Love this book and would suggest it to anyone." -James Kennison, host of That Story Show podcast

Ethan Nicolle is the author and illustrator of several kids' comics including the award-winning Axe Cop, which he created with his little brother. He has also been a screenwriter for multiple television shows on Fox, Netflix, and Cartoon Network. He lives in Rancho Cucamonga, CA with his wife, kids, and various pets. Brave Ollie Possum is his first children's novel.

Comfortable, reliable, and super convenient for everyday use
Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 136, Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 136
I’ve been using these diapers for a while now and they’ve honestly made things much easier for us. One of my favorite features is the pull-up (pant-style) design. It’s especially helpful when the baby is active and doesn’t want to stay still during changes. Compared to traditional diapers, these feel much more convenient and quicker to put on. In terms of comfort, they are very soft and lightweight, and my baby seems comfortable wearing them for long periods. I also really appreciate that they are unscented — there’s no strong or artificial smell, which is something I’ve noticed with other brands. Absorbency has been great so far. They don’t feel overly wet even after extended use and have held up through the entire night without leaks, which is a huge plus. The inside material stays evenly distributed and doesn’t become lumpy, even after several hours. Pros: Easy pull-up design (great for active babies) Soft, lightweight, and comfortable No strong scent or odor Good absorbency without feeling too wet Reliable overnight protection Holds shape well (no clumping) Cons: Slightly different from traditional diapers, may take a bit of getting used to Overall, these have been a very reliable choice for us. I’ve already reordered them multiple times, and they’ve consistently performed well. I would definitely recommend them to other parents looking for something comfortable, convenient, and dependable.

Leak Proof!
Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 56
These are great for overnights! They do not like and you don’t have to worry about not putting it in correctly as you struggle with a rolling alligator. I’m a fan because they do not leak like others while the kids sleep.

Great for Sensitive Skin
Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 128
I've tried other diapers and I keep coming back to Huggies as they are the only ones that don't cause irritation for my little one. Little one is 12kg and we use size 5. They are very roomy but still snug enough around the waist. I'm amazed at how absorbent and soft they are. Although there are "cheaper" diapers out there, they don't hold as much and aren't as comfortable.

Good, but not better than Pampers 360.
Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 100, Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 100
We use Pampers 360’s for our 18 month old, but we decided to try out Huggies 360’s to check if they were better Huggies 360 differ from Pampers 360 in size. These Huggies are huge compared to Pampers, they fit true to size but are puffy and take up more space in the diaper bag and the diaper drawer. My toddler prefers to run around wearing only a diaper. Huggies are less durable than Pampers, they will fray and pill more with the friction of surfaces. They perform the same as the Pampers, we didn’t experience any leaks. They are also similar is softness to Pampers. The elastic at the sides also seems tighter than Pampers. The main reason we won’t be switching to Huggies 360 is that the absorbent panel in the front is wider and less flexible so more difficult to get into a comfortable position for my son’s anatomy. They do function well as diapers, they just aren’t for us.
