A funny, engaging, fantastic read. I love it!

Nicholas Bells is an everychild who overcomes his deepest insecurity in this hilarious, touching, and incredibly engaging debut novel. I could not put the book down. P.S. Keep in mind that "Kirkus Reviews" panned "The Catcher in the Rye." - S. Venokur (the author's Mom)
