Synopsis A Secret History of the Ollie by : Craig B. Snyder

Every culture has a creation myth, and skateboarding is no different. The Ollie forged a new identity for skateboarding after its invention in the 1970s, and it lies at the root of nearly every significant move in street skating today. This groundbreaking no-handed aerial has also affected the evolution of surfing and snowboarding, and has left a permanent impression upon popular culture and language. This, then, is the story of the Ollie, the history and technology that set the stage for its creation, the pioneers who made it happen, and the skaters who used it to start a revolution.

Synopsis Ollie's Treasure by : Lynn Jenkins

Ollie’s Treasure is tale of mindfulness for young, developing minds. It’s a story about how simply noticing and taking in what is on offer to our senses can lead to the Holy Grail of treasure — happiness. Ollie’s Treasure takes children on a treasure hunt. Ollie’s grandma sends him a treasure map that promises to lead him to ‘something that will make him happy always’. Of course, Ollie thinks this ‘something’ will be a toy of some sort, but he gets both a rude shock and a big surprise when his treasure turns out to be him! By following his grandmother’s treasure map, he is taken on a journey of his senses, encouraged to notice what he can see, hear, touch, smell and taste. It comes as quite a surprise to him to realise that noticing such things makes him feel happy, and that the key to happiness can be found in his own mind not in material possessions.

Synopsis Small Spaces by : Katherine Arden

New York Times bestselling adult author of The Bear and the Nightingale makes her middle grade debut with a creepy, spellbinding ghost story destined to become a classic. Now in paperback. After suffering a tragic loss, eleven-year-old Ollie who only finds solace in books discovers a chilling ghost story about a girl named Beth, the two brothers who loved her, and a peculiar deal made with "the smiling man"—a sinister specter who grants your most tightly held wish, but only for the ultimate price. Captivated by the tale, Ollie begins to wonder if the smiling man might be real when she stumbles upon the graves of the very people she's been reading about on a school trip to a nearby farm. Then, later, when her school bus breaks down on the ride home, the strange bus driver tells Ollie and her classmates: "Best get moving. At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you." Nightfall is, indeed, fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital wristwatch begins a startling countdown and delivers a terrifying message: RUN. Only Ollie and two of her classmates heed these warnings. As the trio head out into the woods—bordered by a field of scarecrows that seem to be watching them—the bus driver has just one final piece of advice for Ollie and her friends: "Avoid large places. Keep to small." And with that, a deliciously creepy and hair-raising adventure begins.

Synopsis All the Little Truths by : S J Sylvis

Several months ago, I was the queen of English Prep. The boys stopped in their tracks at the sight of my too-short plaid skirt, and the girls cowered behind their locker doors, envious of me ruling the halls with the most desired boy by my side.But the thing about queens? They often fall to their own demise. The boys no longer spare me a single glance. The girls turn up their noses at the very sight of my golden hair. Every relationship I'd formed as ruler of the school was fruitless and one-sided-and I didn't miss a single person when I was pushed off the throne with my broken crown in tow.Except for Eric. In sixth grade, I gave him a friendship bracelet, right along with my young, naive heart. But things quickly changed after that. The pretty, nice, girl next door that I once was turned into someone cold and callous. Eric thinks I iced him out because of my status at English Prep. But that isn't the truth. And as much as I need him now, I deserve every heated glare he sends my way. Eric hates me. And I can't even blame him.All the Little Truths is stand-alone, enemies-to-lovers high school romance intended for readers 18+. This book deals with subjects that some may find triggering.

Synopsis Fashion Diva by : Ollie McNamara

Ollie McNamara is one of the few women to have succeeded in the male-dominated fashion industry. From her early years with Saks Fifth Avenue to her retirement in 2000, Ollie viewed the fashion business from its very center. Ollie shares this view in Fashion Diva, her memoir of fifty years in fashion. With words and pictures, she describes an industry that only an insider could know. In the process, she takes a candid look at the toll her success extracted from her family and her personal life. Running through her story is a dark secret that threatened to make meaningless everything she accomplished. Ollie McNamara writes with the same candid attention to style and detail she dedicated to her career. A passionate tribute to life, love, and creativity, Fashion Diva brings the society page and the fashion magazine to life.
