I'm a girl of 11 years and I considere this book as one of the best that I have read. Nicolas is a boy more or less of 10 years and the most part of the time he spends it with all his school friends. He hates girls, but when her mother invited a friend, and she went with her daughter he became crazy about her. Alcestes, Rufo, Clotario and Majencio are only some boys of all the gang of friends. They pass many adventures playing football, to the cowboys and many other things. If you are a kid or you have them, be sure this book will like it very much, and also and adult can enjoy it
