Animal lover and kid scientist Olga is back! Great for fans of the acclaimed graphic novels Real Friends and Invisible Emmie.

In this second installment of a series Franny K. Stein creator Jim Benton called “great, kooky, monstrous fun,” Olga wants to leave earth in search of Meh’s home planet, but first she’ll have to discover why Meh is acting so strange.

Olga: We’re Out of Here isjam-packed with facts and fun: Elise Gravel’s classic comic illustrations, hilarious word bubbles, space travel facts,and a diverse cast of memorable characters.

Brightly.com put Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere on their "Ultimate Summer Reading List for 9- to 12-Year-Olds."

And Kirkus said of it: “A visually interesting mix of illustration and story, punctuated by numerous lists, comic panels, and cartoon diagrams and led by a smart female protagonist. A bubble-gum crowd pleaser with wide audience appeal.”

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This second installment is just as entertaining as the first book. Kids will share much of Olga’s annoyance with her fellow humans and some of Olga’s observations are laugh-out-loud funny.” — School Library Journal

“...always smart and funny, this installment will delight those who haven’t yet met Olga and seasoned fans.” — School Library Journal

“Readers who first met Olga and her unusual and possibly alien pet, Meh, in Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere (2017), will be delighted to be reunited with the quirky pair.” — Booklist

From the Back Cover

One day, Meh and I will leave the Earth. We’ll get away from all these annoying humans and find the planet where Meh was born. I’m already working on my astronaut skills; but it would go much faster if Meh wasn’t acting so strange. What’s up with her?

WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS BOOK:
CUTE ALIENS
WEIRD SPACE FACTS
A STRANGE VET
WORRISOME PINKBUMPS
PEANUT-BUTTER-FILLED OLIVES

For the last few days, my daughter has quietly holed up in a corner and happily read this book. She loved the first book and the second book, and was so pleased to find out there’s another in the series. She’s 7 and in second grade. Please keep writing these quirky, appealing characters.

My daughter LOVES this series. It took over as a favorite book. If you’ve got a kid in the 7-9 age range with a quirky sense of humor who loves animals, but doesn’t care for suspenseful stories, definitely consider the Olga series.

My children LOVE this book and the first Olga book. They read it out loud together and laughed for hours. I’m looking forward to more in the series.

I highly recommend these books for kids who struggle with reading or any children who love funny books. The space theme is a great bonus for kids who have space as a focused area of interest.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Sequel
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2018
This is the second book in the Olga series. While I thought it was fine, and while a reader could certainly start with this book, it might be best overall to begin this series with the first book.

In Book 1, ("Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere"), we first meet Olga, find Meh, and are introduced to all of Olga's friends. In that book Olga is grumpy, bordering on grouchy, but we get to see her mellow out as the story progresses. In this new installment Olga continues to have her doubts about the appeal of humans generally, but without the backstory her little asides and gripes, (about pollution, rudeness, and that sort of thing), can feel a touch out of place. In the same vein the existence of Meh, an alien pet-being-thing might feel out of context for a new reader.

I guess the best way to describe it is to note that Book 1 is really a character and story setup book, and this sequel is more a complete story that just jumps right off. As to that story, well, it has a lot of moving parts. Olga wants to be an astronaut so that she and Meh can try to find Meh's home planet. Lots of good stuff about space, the space program, and astronauts. This is where Olga's narrative, funny drawings, Olga's lists, captioned drawings, research results, and all the other graphic novelties and sidebars really shine. Sometimes the book feels like a wacky middle grade multi-media presentation, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Once Olga decides to wait for teleportation to be invented the book heads in an entirely different direction. Meh appears to be ill and Olga tries, increasingly frantically, to figure out Meh's problem. This leads us to all of Olga's quirky adult friends, her best pal, the internet, the sisters next door, and pretty much everyone else we met in Book 1. There's a happy ending, but there is also suspense beforehand as Meh keeps getting sicker. This is handled well, isn't really unnerving, and helps to humanize grouchy Olga, who was never all that grouchy anyway. This is all done with a light touch and a nice sense of humor.

All of this adds up to why I enjoyed this sequel. The story is new. There's a promise of more to come. Olga keeps showing us her better side even as she kvetches, and the author continues to inject sly little bits and jokes to also amuse older readers and adults. This is a quirky little book, but it's ambitious and well crafted, with a sneaky charm and an underlying good humor that I appreciated. I think I'd like any kid who liked this series.

(Please note that I received a free advance will-self-destruct-in-x-days Adobe Digital copy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)
