Rate this book
Пригода триває! Джеронімо Стілтон, миша, що є головним редактором газети “Гризун” і його друзі люблять подорожувати в часі та вивчати історію світу. Цього разу вони відвідують славний Єгипет у часи побудови пірамід.

Команда потрапляє на будівництво однієї з найвідоміших споруд світу – Сфінкса, що має тіло лева та голову людини. Але коти-пірати вже тут і прагнуть змінити історію та переконати фараона побудувати Сфінкса зовсім по-іншому!

Здається у Джеронімо та його друзів з’явилась нова робота. Адже якщо коти-пірати змінять вигляд пам’ятника, зміниться майбутнє всього Єгипту!

This is the second graphic novel in the Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novel series published by Papercutz. I read this after enjoying first volume. Like the first one I read this to my daughters and they totally enjoyed it! How much did they enjoyed it? When I read it to them at night they tell me not to stop! These books tell the story of a mouse Geronimo Stilton and his family and friends going into time in history through a time machine to stop the insidious plot of the Pirate Cats. Besides the adventure long the way young readers will also learn about history. As a parent passionate about history I like that!
In this volume Gemino and his group goes back to time to ancient Egypt. He is joined by a same cast of characters from volume one: his cousin Trap, his nephew Benjamin and Benjamin’s friend Bugsy Wugsy. However there’s a new addition to this stoy: Petunia who takes the place of Thea in volume one (Thea is Geronomino’s sister). Together they enter the “speedrat” which is a time machine to go back in time to Ancient Egypt. Their adventures take them to Giza Plateau, Memphis and the Nile River, all real places in ancient Egypt. I love how the graphic novel will have information panels telling us the history and fun facts along the way. This is great and informative. My kids will often ask further historical questions whenever these pop up. Geronimo and friends meet all kinds of interesting historical figures along the way and manage to stop the Pirate Cats’ plot to change history. Fun!

El secreto del valor, a pesar de ser atrayente estéticamente a la lectura como los demás libros de la autora, este se queda muy atrás en originalidad.

Este libro trata sobre superar tus medios, aunque con una narración que podría resultar algo estresante para un niño.

Geronimo Stilton, la autora mejor dicho, tiene decenas de libros que merecen mucho la pena leer, pero este no es uno de ellos.

Cómic protagonizado por el ratón Gerónimo Stilton.
Leído por casualidad en una visita a una casa con niños. Me ha gustado que se aproveche el libro para explicar cosas sobre el antiguo Egipto (que eran los faraones, como se construían las pirámides, las divinidades...). Creo que es una buena forma de introducir a los niños en la historia.

If your child is a Stilton fan, they'll enjoy seeing the novels in graphic form. The artwork is very nice and the story keeps the action running. A nice book to show reluctant readers.

It's good, but it wasn't my favorite one. My best part was when the pirate cats jumped off into the water~

I liked this one better than the first! There aren't long stretches of times where nothing is happening so it felt more like an adventure. I really enjoyed the plot too because I do like Bastet, the Goddess of Cat. Was it actually necessary for the pirate cats to try and have a cat face on sphinx? No. But I liked it anyway.

It's so cool! I love it because I have learned a lot about Egypt even though most information wasn't really true. Also, I like reading comics :D

Це перший синів повноцінний комікс. Та й мій також, зізнаюся))) І далі буде, тому що це ж цілий мультфільм, а не книга!

Однак про те, що таке комікс, не розказуватиму — тупо трошки, чи не так? А от про його зміст трошки поговорю. Так от: мені сподобалося. Усе, починаючи з реальних історичних фактів (це я як мама дуже зацінила), продовжуючи цікавим сюжетом і закінчуючи добре продуманою навігацією: на форзацах докладно намальовано й написано, хто кому яка миша і хто цим мишам коти-пірати)))

Папір гарний, сторінки не розвалюються (принаймні після першого прочитання, яке тривало два тижні))), гортати сторінки й передивлятися особливо емоційні моменти — то одна з улюблених синових справ, тож далі буде.

We're so proud of you for reading "The Secret of the Sphinx" by Geronimo Stilton! This adventure taught us about the importance of curiosity and learning from history. Just like Geronimo discovered secrets about the past that helped him on his journey, you can learn from history and stories to help you understand the world better. Remember to always ask questions and seek answers, just like your favorite characters. This curiosity will help you in school and as you learn more about the wonderful world around you!

Lots of hugs,
Mom and Dad

My son really likes Geronimo Stilton books. The graphic novels are great as there are a lot of pictures for him which he likes but I also don’t think he follows the story as well. I would rather a novel format for him with some pictures thrown in. I like the Kingdom of fantasy books better for this reason.

Rats vs. Cats in ancient Egypt. There is always a background lesson in History in these comics and this one introduces the young reader to the culture of ancient Egypt. Though I laughed through it, Geronimo Stilton is not Tintin, not Asterix, not Garfield! It just misses out somewhere.

Este libro me ha enseñado muchas. Él ratón gris se llama metomentodo quesoso. Geronimo Stilton y metomentodo quesoso son amigos desde la escuela y esa y otras cosas interesantes descubriréis en el libro el extraño caso de la rata apestosa.
