Features: The story is filled with the little moments from Nicolas's daily life. Using the first-person perspective, it draws readers into the child's point of view. The language is very colloquial but never vulgar. Careful readers might find their own lives reflected in Nicolas's story. Although it is humorous and romantic, it remains completely authentic. This is the story of a French little rascal, yet many Chinese readers exclaimed, "Nicolas is me when I was a child!" Parents will find even more in this book—seeing their own children in Nicolas and their own parents in Nicolas's parents. Therefore, this book is not only worth reading for children but also for adults.
