This is a great series. We did it as a read aloud at bedtime. One chapter was never enough! Highly recommend!

My son is a good reader but has had trouble finding chapter books that are interesting without being too difficult or too easy for his level. We read the first couple Nick and Sam books together at bedtime, then he continued with the rest on his own. He pays attention to all the little details and I think he likes them because they are realistic and cover catholic topics he's familiar with. We'll be ordered in the next set soon!

The Nick and Sam series is so well written – that is certainly not a given in today’s children’s literature! The Catholic faith is integrated into the lives of the children, and thus the stories, very naturally and beautifully. Due to the humanity and ease of the adventures, the reader is sucked in and the faith learning is never overbearing, always more show than tell and very age appropriate. My seven-year-old has read and reread these books numerous times over the past two years and finds them to be very relatable and enjoyable. As a parent, I look forward to future Nick and Sam stories and also to the companion series for older kids when the kids are ready for it. I recommend these to my friends for their kids too!
