Nicholas and the Gang contains 16 stories about Nicholas, the French schoolboy, and his friends, many of whom are familiar from the other books in the series: theres Alec, whos always eating; Cuthbert, whos always top of the class; Matthew, whos always bottom of the class; and Mary Jane, the little girl with blonde pigtails who lives next door.

In this book, they try to make friends with the owner of a new bookshop near their school, take part in a chaotic radio interview, and play an unusually messy game of chess.
