Upon getting lost in the woods, our narrator meets a strange Dwarf named Nostromo and his dog, Cicero.  Many more dinners and lunches later, the trio become great friends. 

Told to his children, Nostromo is a great book about kindness and deep friendship. Stories told by the strange dwarf are filled with interesting characters and could easily be broken down to a nightly read for kids. The plot is fairly easy to understand so ever young ones would enjoy listening to these tales.

I really liked this story. It captivated me and kept me interested through its entirety.  A little wordy for those starting chapter books, this should be revised for a more confident reader or a family project.  Wonderful!!
