This book was originally published in France in 1959 and later published in 2011 by Phaidon Press in English. This is the first book in the Nicholas series. In this volume, there are nineteen different stories concerning Nicholas and his friends, whom live in an all boys boarding school somewhere in France. Throughout the book, he and his friends get in trouble in a variety of ways. I enjoyed and connected particularly with the story of how he and his friends annoyed and punished their substitute teacher. This book is not what I would call politically correct due to the antics of Nicholas and his friends; however, it would definitely keep the reluctant reader engaged from cover to cover.
