What People Are Saying
“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
"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!”
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.
It was perfect for our nighttime reading.
My 4 & 1/2 and 7 & 1/2 year old LOVED Brave Ollie Possum!...The story was so fun, my kids demanded at least 2 chapters per night. The creativity and comedic writing of Ethan Nicolle is so excellent, that I enjoyed reading it as much as my kids enjoyed listening to it!
"Couldn't put it down"
Fantastic book. Character instilling without being laborious. Full of delightful humor and enough plot twists to keep you engaged. I originally bought it for my nephew but ended up listening to it via audiobook and "couldn't put it down". The author is a wonderful reader. It feels more like a radio drama than your average audiobook.
I lost years and gained courage.
I am 52 years old and my normal reading reflects that, but life has been rough 2020, and I have aged far more physically and emotionally. Brave Ollie was suggested by a friend as a distraction, a flight of whimsy, but it was a lot more. I loved the characters—over-the-top but relatable, humorous, magical . . . 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.

A tale for teaching kids how to be brave.
My new book Brave Ollie Possum is a product I am proud to sell all on its own. Published by Cannonball Books, this hardcover is packed with 380 pages, over 200 illustrations, with a beautiful spot gloss dust jacket and gold foil lettering underneath. This is a book I wrote for kids, or adults who enjoy children's stories. I agree with C.S. Lewis when he says , "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest." I wrote this book because I love stories like The Hobbit, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Coraline, Harry Potter, Grimm's Fairy Tales, and How To Train Your Dragon. I believe if you like a good adventure, you will like this story. Also, this book is intended to be read out loud before bed, a chapter or three per night. I wrote this after reading many of the above-mentioned books to my kids, out of my love for reading to my children at bedtime.
"Perfect nighttime reading".
