Written by Italian author Elisabetta Dami under one of her pseudonyms, this is a children’s chapter book, aimed at (I would guess) ages 6-8.

Thea Stilton is a star alumna of Mouseford Academy and has been invited to return as a professor of journalism. On the ferry ride to Whale Island, on which the Academy is situated, she meets five young mouselings who will be her students: Nicky, Colette, Violet, Paulina and Pamela. Once they arrive, however, things start to go missing and they join show more together to solve the mystery.

Okay, I get that I’m not the target audience (by a couple of generations), but I don’t think I would have liked this when I was a young kid. I find the “cuteness” of using “mouse” as an alternative spelling for any adjective normally ending is “mous” (e.g. famous) and adding all sorts of “special effects” to the printing by changing fonts and colors irritating. Just tell a good story! And this one isn’t all that good.

I also do not get why the author uses as a nom de plume the name of her main character, who is a mouse!

I’ll give it two stars because I know she’s sold bajillions of books and kids, apparently, really like them. But, frankly, I wouldn’t buy them for any kid I know and I wouldn’t encourage them to read them. There are many far better children’s books out there.

Even though both my kids collected Stilton books, this is the 1st time I’ve read one. So I don’t know if Geronimo is normally out of luck, but he really had a terrible Christmas Eve despite continually performing good deeds. Fortunately friends and family help him recover all he’s lost to make for a an over-the-top party. Entertaining and I see why the kids like these unique books.
The twelve stories of this collection have in common the predominant presence, in almost all of them, of a romantic side, and a certain lightness of the themes: there are only a few murders, the crimes are often thefts or deceptions and the characters never take them very seriously, and perhaps that's why I found this book a very fun read.
To describe this book the adjective that comes to my mind is pleasant. I prefer novels, but these twelve stories have kept me an enjoyable company.

MISTERI show more PROPRIO SIMPATICI
I racconti sono molto leggeri, pochi i delitti, più spesso furti o inganni, ma sempre gradevoli, l’aggettivo che mi viene in mente è simpatici. Preferisco i romanzi, ma queste dodici storie mi hanno tenuto piacevole compagnia.

This was a really good Geronimo book. I like seeing Geronimo attempt to be brave, because it shows his dedication to his friends and its a nice change from his typical cowardly habits which are still present. I liked the adventure he went on (to the Himalayas to climb Mount Evermouse--Everest). He comes up on a lot of surprises that test him and his sincerity and pushes him to limits while his family are pushing him to not make up stories, constantly teasing him, and he keeps falling behind. show more A very quick read, but a good one. show less
