The Overwhelms threaten to ruin her day, but Ollie knows what to do! This is a job for Super Ollie!

Activating her superpower called supercalm, Ollie knows the best way to stay focused is to take deep breaths and concentrate on a thought that helps her feel happy. In no time, Ollie's power of supercalm shines bright. Will she be able to solve the case of The Overwhelms and learn to jump rope?
