Rick Thrun

I live and write along the lake Michigan shore in Sturgeon Bay, Door County, Wisconsin.

After attending art school in Milwaukee, I spent ten years as a freelancer illustrator, illustrating five published children’s picture books, and also served as head of the ilustration department at Milwaukee Institute of Design (MIAD). Later I was partner, creative director and chief storyteller at two Milwaukee creative agencies.

When not writing ways for Ollie and the Kid to get in and out of trouble, you’ll find me fishing, biking gardening or grilling.

OLLIE & the KID

COMMOTION

in the OCEAN

BOOK #1 in the SHAPE-SHIFTER Series

A really cool book about two kids who don’t really know each other but learn each other’s secrets while going on amazing and scary adventures while trying to stop a sinister stranger who sneaked into town with an awful plan to destroy the ocean along with all its inhabitants, like whales and octopuses, and it will take all the kid’s magic powers along with Ollie’s braveness, and a whole bunch of dogs to save everything!
