Geronimo Stilton #7-9
Red Pizza for a Blue Count, Attack of the Bandit Cats, and A Fabumouse Vacation for Geronimo
Who is Geronimo Stilton?
That’s me! I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing adventure stories. Here in New Mouse City, the capital of Mouse Island, my books are all bestsellers! My stories are funny, fa-mouse-ly funny. They are whisker-licking-good tales, and that’s a promise!
Red Pizzas for A Blue Count
My troublemaker cousin was trapped in Transratania! And before I could even squeak, my sister, Thea, dragged me along on her rescue mission. Little did we know that Transratania is the land of vampire bats! Holey cheese, bats give me goose bumps!
Attack of the Bandit Cats
Captured by cats! It’s every rodent’s worst nightmare. It al started when my cousin Trap convinced me to join him on a quest for a legendary island covered in silver. But before you could say “hot cheese on toast,” we were attacked by a ship of pirate cats!
A Fabumouse Vacation for Geronimo
Sometimes a busy businessmouse like me needs a nice, relaxing vacation. But everytime I tried to get away, disaster struck! By the time I finally tore myself away from The Rodent’s Gazette, all the good trips were booked up. I found myself stuck in a flea-ridden old hotel, sharing a room with a bunch of Gerbil Scouts!

Audio format: 5 stars--Once again, I need to start off my review with a note that the audiobook presentation along with Edward Hermann's narration are outstanding and give these stories charm, elevating them above the experience of reading the paper copies would have been in my opinion.
#7 Red Pizzas for a Blue Count: 4 stars--this was my favorite of the Geronimo Stilton stories that I've read or listened to. This one centers a bit more around Trap as he has gone of to Transratania in pursuit of his family history. He has been sold a line about having been descended from royalty (the original owners of a castle in this area) and has taken a job to obtain proof of his esteemed lineage. Geronimo, Thea, and Benjamin mistake his communication for a cry for help and set off to rescue him, but instead find that he is in love, and they need to obtain jobs in order to help put on an event in the castle while trying to extricate Trap and find out what is really going on. The gothic influence is strong throughout this story as supernatural elements are hinted at and a sense of atmosphere is built up only for a plausible, realistic explanation to be provided in the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
#8 Attack of the Bandit Cats: 3 stars--Another installment that was perfectly acceptable, but nothing special. Some unfortunate occurrences open the book to create a situation for Geronimo is amenable to his family's suggestion of an adventure. Much like the first book, this leads to significant misfortune, and they have to work together to solve their difficulties. Of course, it all works out for them in the end, their fates never really in doubt. Some of the cat stuff was entertaining, but this one was more serviceable than exceptional.
#9 A Fabumouse Vacation for Geronimo: 3.5 stars--A fun little story. Geronimo wants to go on vacation, but a series of mishaps prevents him from going to several different idyllic locations in turn. Finally, there's only one vacation left and it looks dreadful. Of course, he ends up having a good time so all is saved in the end. The repetitive, episodic nature of the plot leaves the recap short, but it works pretty well here. The specific event that keeps him from his vacation is different each time, and it comes across more as hard luck than him being victimized or put upon by the other characters. Not much else to say, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Geronimo is such a scaredy mouse!

I didn't find this particular set of Geronimo books all that noteworthy. Geronimo is up to his usual adventures along with his family members. I thought the book about his meeting with pirate cats was mildly amusing but otherwise this set of books is a lot like the other Stilton books.

Quick, funny, easy to read stories. A bit of silliness thrown in of course, as the main characters are mice. My son, age 10, loved all three books. I enjoyed them as well.
