If you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you’ll enjoy Nicholas taking you a little further back in time. Created by the author of Asterix in 1964, Nicholas is a cheeky French schoolboy whose exploits will entertain for hours.

Nicholas and his gang do what little boys are best at: turn everything into a game that winds up in trouble. But let’s be honest, that’s what makes it so much fun!

Like when a burst pipe floods their classroom, so class is held in the boiler room, and chairs need carrying from the dining room... it’s chaos!

Or the lesson in crossing the road safely... they were doing really well until their teacher praised them, “so then we all dashed back full speed across the road to give her a hug.�

All their differences are amicably resolved with a thump or a punch, followed by never speaking again in their whole lives... or at least until one of their teachers shows up and spoils the fun. By next morning, the strife’s forgotten and they’re on to the next adventure.

You can’t help feeling a bit like their favourite teacher, ‘when she does that it means she’s trying not to laugh.�
