Nicky NoFace & The Face Critters is a wild, adventurous kids' romp you have to read to believe. I have learned in my time as a parent that out of all things - excitement, adventure, mystery, praise, even candy - children appreciate silliness the most. This book has it in spades.This is the kind of demented silliness that has made the biggest children's books of our time. Think old-school Nickelodeon meets Roald Dahl on the road just outside of Lemony Snicket. Sensitive parents, do mind that while the book is very child-safe, it does contain the word "hell" a few times (used in the exclamatory "what the" vernacular, not to reference the underworld).Fantastically goofy, adventurous, and even tugs on the old heartstrings at times. My 11 year old will appreciate this.
