The "Pipilù's Adventures" series books are all about Pipilù's fairy tales created by the (children's fairy tale master) Zheng Yuanjie over the past twenty-plus years.

If one of your fingernails grows faster than the others, what would you think? The protagonist of this story, Ouyang Ningxiu, uses her thumb nail to predict stock trends and becomes the world's richest person. Maybe you also have a golden thumb that can show future stock trends, and Pipilù hopes his nail can turn into a mini-game console.
