Good reads for teens and kids.interesting story

[Lizzie RoseShine · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel bad for Geronimo character - all he want is peace at his home but call by his people he knows like thea(sister), petunia pretty paws & his grandfather - he wants him to do his job to capture pictures of that monster in news so he have no choice but to go 😂😅. Those clues are so easy to know who's the culprits are. At least Geronimo reveal the truth to justice in newspaper headline cover.

Miss 5 enjoyed puzzling over the 'photos' and trying to work out why they were 'wrong' and working out what was really going on. She doesn't like that Geronimo's Dad is so mean to him.

What we like: The colourful pictures and exciting fonts. The way colour and interesting fonts are used to highlight words on each page is great for helping Miss 5 learn to read new words. The detective / mystery angle and the questions/clues at the end of each chapter.

Miss 5 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Een leuk boek in de serie! Ditmaal een monster... maar is alles wel zo zuiver? Ik heb genoten van het mysterie (wel makkelijk, maar echt niet erg hoor, vind ik ook wel eens leuk), de verschillende karakters, en het avontuur! En Stilton is echt zoveel dapperder in deze delen, zo leuk. Ja, hij is nog steeds schrikachtig, maar hey, als jij een spooky hotelletje in moet en op de zolder moet slapen.. .zou ik ook niet amused zijn. XD En als ik op een monster zit? Zelfde.
Lekker rustige mysterie perfect voor Halloween. Even wat lichts.

It was nice book, i would say. 5 stars cause nothing the book disappointed me and it was an interesting story. I completely liked, though it seems to not target my age group. It has lots of illustrations in it, which were just EPIC!

[Calypso · Rating 4 out of 5]

Le livre est plutôt pas mal. Il est drôle comme tout ses livres 📚 . J'aime beaucoup la façon dont c'est écrit.
Comme toujours Geromino déteste les voyages. J'aime le moment où ils vont au supermarché.

3 stars & 3/10 hearts. I figured out very quickly what was happening, but still enjoyed the story. It was fun to see Sally against Geronimo again ;P

[Katja Labonté · Rating 3 out of 5]

3,5 étoiles (3/10 cœurs). C’est une histoire plutôt detective, genre Scoops en série à Sourisia ; un peu evident mais quand même intéressant. Il y a aussi une deuxième partie avec un escroquerie qui était un peu plus complexe.

3.5 stars (3/10 hearts). It’s rather a detective story, like Scoops en série à Sourisia ; a bit obvious but still interesting. There is also a second part with a scam, which was a little more complex.

In this book, a mysterious creature appears in the lake and soon everyone arrives there curious to see the lake monster. Geronimo is forced to go and take pictures for 'The Rodent's Gazette, the most famous newspaper on mouse Island. Reaching there, he realizes that his biggest enemy Sally is also there. At the end, it turns out to be Sally and Samuel Sweetwater, the manager of the hotel near the lake, was faking everything to attract more tourists to come to the lake so that he can expand his hotel while Sally wanted to sell millions of copies of her newspaper.
This book was funny and I actually felt bad for Geronimo to be forced to go there while hr hated to travel and stuggle on their road trip. Overall, I'll recommend this book to young children.
