"OLGA" by Ted Kelsey, illustrated by Dillon Samuelson, receives Official Selection Honors in the Young Adult category of the 2015 New Apple Summer eBook Awards for Excellence in Independent Publishing.

Book Synopsis
Magic weapons, white tigers, cat-faced moths and giants on motorcycles... "OLGA" is Ted Kelsey's captivating first novel and features illustrations by the fine artist and illustrator, Dillon Samuelson. When a mysterious figure is seen floating and dancing in the field near their house, Jack and Sally decide to investigate. This decision will lead them to an exciting place far beyond their imagination, the home of OLGA. Nothing in the clouds is as it appears, and in order to get home safely, Jack and Sally must first learn whom to trust, and find a way to believe in themselves. A story of spirit and imagination that the Online Book Club has described as "interwoven with comedy and deeper emotions of freedom and loneliness", "OLGA" will delight readers of all ages.
