As I live in Australia I received this a few weeks ago so have had time to savour it with my kids (ages 5 and 9). In short...its a fantastic book!The book stands out becasue it is larger than the normal Geronimo Stilton books, with a hardcover and stitched binding. I have friends who had never heard of Geronimo Stilton and were drawn to the book's cover and format (regardless of their age).The story centres around Geronimo's journey across 8 different kingdoms in The Kingdom Of Fantasy to rescue Blossom The Queen of the Fairies.On his journey, he meets witches, mermaids, dragons, giants, gnomes, pixies, fairies and a menagerie of wonderful (and sometimes scary) characters and makes a number of new friends. Each kingdom has its own unique inhabitants, along with a signature color, gemstone, metal and musical note. There is also a unique task Geronimo and his friends must perform in order to progress to the next Kingdom.There are puzzles, secret codes to decipher, heaps of maps and fact-files on the kingdoms. This makes the book last longer than the first read.I'm sure this book will be a treasured part of our family for years to come.Well done Scholastic, Edizioni Piemme and Geronimo Stilton!IngerThe Geronimo Stilton News Site ([...])
I bought this book for my 11 year old grandson who is in 5th grade and has a very difficult time reading and thus does not attempt to read on his own. This book has had him glued to the chair and reading for an hour at a time. He loves the pictures, the puzzels and the excitment of the "bad" characters. Don't let the poor reviews discourage you from purchasing this book, I found it great for the older child who can't quite read at grade level.
I bought this at my son's school bookfair, and both of my sons (5 & 7) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We've never read Geronimo Stilton books before, so I can't compare it to any others, but we'll certainly try some others now. The book is large, much bigger than the normal children's book, but it was an easy read. It is split up into numerous chapters, but each are only a few pages which makes it a great bedtime book because you can read a few chapters each night. The pages were colorful, the adventures were full of mild danger but not scary, and it included some factual data. It takes Geronimo through fantasy lands full of fairies, wiches, dragons, etc to fulfill a quest. Very cute!
My daughter got this book for Christmas and she has finished it already. She ate it up. Actually put some of her Christmas toys aside and started reading. She is 8 years old and found it fascinating. She loves the entire series.
Just picked this book up a couple of days ago. My daughter couldn't put it down! Literally. This book captured her, was fun to see her giggling with excitement at the adventure! Her imagination just ran with it! My daughter has always been an avid reader, however I have never witnessed her take to a book with such passion.
My 7 year old loves reading Geronimo Stilton books; Good price fast shipping;and best of all it a hard cover book so it will last!
I gave it to my 8 year old son and he has been totally hooked! The story is very interesting and the legends on the side are very enriching! It makes them think as well, as sometimes they speak "pixie", everything backwords. Beautiful illustrations. A great book indeed!
My daughter, who is seven, got hooked on these when she was six. She will stay up all night reading Geronimo or Thea Stilton books if we let her. I recommend these and the audio books by the same title.
