stories written by Phoebe

Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens is the story of a boy who has lived all his life in the country and now his indebted  father has died must find work to support his mother and sister. He goes to his uncle for help and is given a place in the infamous Dotheboy's Hall, run by Squeers. 

This book is funny, including men throwing cucumbers and vegetable marrows over the wall and an overly imaginitive mother. 

Stars/5: ***
