What a fun story! Even though it's geared toward a younger audience, anyone can find enjoyment in the Secret Life of Copernicus Stringfellow! Nick thinks that twinkies are brainfood, and although I've not heard that before, he is certainly knowledgeable in most things.


Nick just wants to help people and that's how he spends his life. From one area to the next, he's helping people in his own way. There is alot of trivia in these pages that not only educated me, but really made Nick look super smart. The secondary characters paled in comparison to him. Some of their actions and responses weren't credible. The writing is compelling and entertaining; the pages just raced by as I was immersed in Nick's adventure. With some laugh out loud moments and a good moral - do good unto others, The Secret Life of Copernicus Stringfellow is a great read that I would recommend to anyone. Although Barber's debut, I look forward to his next work!
