It is improbable, but it is funny, and there are so many twists and turns (and trains, scooters and flying things) to keep the reader interested and guessing how the story will end.Īurore is a priceless character (so full of herself.she goes on and on about how fabulous and wonderful she is, you have to smile!) and Pierre at the same age is labeled 'the cornichon - a delicacy when picked' but average. Young Pierre La Bouche sets off to a contest to win (hopefully) $100,000 in a pickle contest in Switzerland (the exact amount of money that the family needs to save the farm) while the rival Borsht family sends their secret weapon, Aurore to kidnap Pierre and steal the pickles so that they can enter and win the contest. With a title like this, how can it fail to be a good book? It is about a family of pickle makers who are struggling to save their family home and business.
