(From cover)Ever since his parents died, Nick has lived over a funeral home with his aunt and uncle. Nick's tired of doing chores for his perfectionist uncle and having his friends make fun of him. The new neighbors next door think he's part of "the Addam's family". Nick can't wait until he can leave the funeral home behind and drive an eighteen-wheeler truck like his father did before he died.But for now he's desperate to buy The Truckers'Road Atlas. That's when he offers Bernard Trauffman the perfect place for a special ceremony for Bernerd's dead snake, Slim Jim. For the right price, Nick will plan a most spectacular secret snake send-off!"Nick is a believable character..some very funny episodes, especially one involving a funeral for a snake."
