Young Nicolas is VERY smart and an orphan. But he has one small problem- narcolepsy. He can't seem to make friends and he gets bullied all the time. So when he meets a boy who seems to like him, and finds a mystery that could change his life- he jumps right in.

Add a CommentThis book is witty and fun! I could not put it down!
I loved reading about Nicolas as a kid. I think that it is funny how he is like Renie and Sticky! 😀
This book is great! It is a very exciting adventure story!
It is interesting to see how young Nicholas gets himself out of trouble and gets help from unexpected places.I highly recommend it.
I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written and it's really cool to go back to Nicholas Benedict as a 9-year-old.It's hooking and interesting, though I think I liked the series a little bit more.
I would recommend it for ages 8 and above.
After reading the series, it was really cool to go back and see how it all began.
This book gives you some background information from where Mr.Benedict came from. The ending is more exiting then the beginning.
I've read it this year.Never gets old.Always new!
I think this book is amazing
This book is awesome and full of excitment and funny moments for all to enjoy! It reminded my so much of the other books in the series! And I love how clever Nicholas is even with his narcolepsy! I also love how it takes John, Violet, and Nicholas and makes them into friends.......
I enjoyed reading this. It was exciting, fun, and touching. I just did not like the character Violet. She is annoying, oversensitive, and does not really help in finding the treasure. She is just a burden. Still, this is a great book.
I loved learning about the character of young Nicholas Benedict and reading about his solutions to every problem that came this way. I thin this book can be enjoyed by any age, although people can start reading it at 10. However, I did not enjoy this book as much as the rest in the series.
