Olga: Out of Control

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Third in the laugh-out-loud cartoon novel series about animal-scientist Olga and her alien pet, MEH.

When Olga opens her fridge to find that her beloved alien pet MEH has become mum to seven baby olgamuses, she has a whole new experiment on her hands. Caring for babies is not a task for wimps, particularly when there are seven of them at once.

They may look like tiny cute pink spring rolls, but soon the septuplets are wailing all night, trashing the house, and playing trampoline on Olga’s face first thing in the morning. Can Olga and MEH keep the brood fed? Who will clean up all that rainbow poo? And is it even possible to be a genius scientist and nanny to seven crazy babies?
