Book excerpt: Monsters and mayhem. And thing that go bump. That's what kids are made of. Wait a second, that's not how the rhyme goes! Unless, of course, you believe the latest big horror movie. Then there's no telling what kids are made of—or can turn into. Which is exactly why Nicholas's parents won't let him spend his Saturday afternoon going to the movie that “everybody else” is going to see. But some kids insist on believing that they, not their parents, know what's best—until it's too late. Welcome to the world of NicholasA,a completely normal kid who happens to find himself in some not-so-normal situations—and his animated best friend, McGee. Fortunately, Nicholas and his best friend, McGee, always seem to learn valuable lessons from their wild adventures. Unfortunately, when you're eleven years old (or, for that, matter, if you're a cartoon character) there are lots of lessons to be learned. In The Not-So-Great Escape, Nicholas and McGee learn the value of obedience and being wise when making decisions. Ages 5-12; Running time approximately 30 minutes
