Nicholas is the first of five books that bring to life the day to day adventures of a young school boy - amusing, endearing and always in trouble. An only child, Nicholas, appears older at school than he does as home and his touchingly naive reaction to situations, cut through the preconceptions of adults and result in a formidable sequence of escapades. This first book in the series contains a collection of nineteen individual stories where, in spite of trying to be good, Nicholas and his friends always seem to end up in some kind of mischief. Whether in the school room, at home, or in the playground, their exuberance often takes over and the results are calamitous - at least for their teachers and parents. Whether confusing the photographer hired to take the class picture, dealing with having to wear glasses for the first time, or trying desperately to help the teacher when the school inspector pays a visit, Nicholas always manages to make matters worse

Do you remember the days of Borders and the weekly coupon they‘d email out? Ahhh! Those were the days! Some weeks the coupons were better than others - and it didn‘t seem to matter if you printed it out multiple times ☺ï¸

I bought this stack of books from Borders, one by one. They are cloth bound editions that seemed expensive at the time - and I wouldn‘t have been able to afford them without the coupons ☺ï¸

Texreader I miss Borders. It was in my neighborhood. 4y
LeahBergen These look delightful! 😠4y
CarolynM Yes! Much as I love the independent book shops, Borders was a god send for those of us with less popular tastes. 4y

It‘s been awhile since I‘ve spent time with Nicholas - a perpetually in trouble but always slightly confused by it school boy who loves playing marbles, football and getting up to all sorts of mischief with his friends. #MiddleGradeMarch

Starring a little French boy who is somehow always in trouble, this is the perfect book for when you'd like to laugh uncontrollably at childish shenanigans.

I know they say 'don't judge a book by its cover' but what about a book by its texture? 😠it was love at first glance for me (luckily the stories inside were excellent)
