Nicky Deuce: Home for the Holidays

After Tony Soprano leaves HBO, I hope Steven Schirripa takes up writing for kids full time. Nicky Deuce cooks up a storm with Grandma Tutti in this sequel, even has a recipe at the end of the book to round it out (but there are lots of embedded feasts kids could try their hand at). He and his pal Tommy (a good foil) once again get into serious hot water and once again are rescued by the shadowy Uncle Frankie. Undoubtedly, this writer has found a great partner (CHarles Fleming) and a great character (Nicholas Borelli II) and the boys will love reading him. Let's hope there's no TV show in this! Maybe Schirripa can team up with a real live NIcky for a cooking show!
