Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
If you ask Nicholas Borelli II--better known as Nicky Deuce--winter in New Jersey is awfully boring compared to summertime in Brooklyn, where he had the best two weeks of his life. Now it's cold out, he's back in school, and he has to live without Grandma Tutti's home cooked Italian meals and Uncle Franklie's funny tough-guy attitude. But not for long! Nicky's father is throwing a New Year's Eve party and the whole family is going to stay at their house and the gang from Brooklyn is coming to visit. By Christmas, Nicky's home is brimming with Brooklyn accents. Grandma Tutti wastes no time taking over the kitchen while Uncle Frankie charms the neighbors and cousin Tommy beats up Dirk Van Allen, the biggest jer in the neighborhood. Suddenly Tommy becomes a local hero but he and Nicky also become the prime target of a bully's revenge. Nicky Deuce is about to find out that winter in New Jersey is anything but boring.

Life After the Sopranos?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
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!
