"A gorgeously designed book that just LOOKS special and like you should give it to someone as a gift. I always think short stories or collections make good gifts, plus the Nicholas series can really be read in any order, and it's so danged entertaining I encourage parents to read it WITH their because I know they'll enjoy it too. A particularly perfect gift for the 5-11 year old boy you don't know what to buy for, or that want the next miracle nonexistent Wimpy Kid book."
