OLLIE, TOMMY & TORCH

On a stormy night, when thunder growls and shadows stretch long and spooky, two brothers wake to find their most treasured companion missing. With the power out and the house cloaked in darkness, Ollie and Tommy would rather stay huddled under the covers—until their nightlight, Torch, wobbles, wiggles, and POPS to life! The glowing pup leads them on a whimsical, light-drenched adventure through their own home, where flickering shadows become playful mysteries, and familiar rooms turn into enchanted landscapes. But will they be brave enough to face the shadowy “monsters” lurking beneath the couch and discover who really took George?

Complete at 800 words, Ollie, Tommy & Torch captures the boundless imagination of childhood, where even a power outage can spark an unforgettable journey. Fans of Beyond the Pond by Joseph Kuefler will appreciate the way the ordinary world transforms into a place of discovery, while Blackout by John Rocco shares its cozy, unexpected adventure in the dark. And like Bluey, this story celebrates sibling dynamics, playful problem-solving, and the magic of seeing the world through a child’s eyes.
