Why it works
It has the full text of the first novel in a hardback edition designed for a first read, with drawings by Xavier Bonet throughout the book. It is bulkier and looks better than the paperback without reaching the price of the big collector's editions. It is the book many people remember as the first 'fat' one they read.
Our verdict
Few books look this impressive in this price range, and it works for a First Communion too. If they already have it, see whether they are missing the second in the same edition.
They will like it if

- the later volumes in this edition have to be bought separately
