After his father dies, Nicholas Nickleby seeks help from his uncle Ralph. But Ralph is hard-hearted and forces Nicholas to fight his own way in this world. In this comic novel by Charles Dickens, Nicholas fights against social injustices and cruelty.

Retold for younger readers, this classic 1886 novel was not Robert Louis Stevenson's first novel, but it was one that helped to make him famous in his lifetime. The spine-chilling story shows the struggle between good and evil that Dr. Jekyll faced and how, in the end, his own good nature was overpowered by the evil in himself.
