This whole Fantasy Stilton series is pretty good. My 7yo son loves them. We've bought some of these books hard cover and some of these books on the iPad Kindle app (which makes for a random collection, I know). Both versions are fantastic. That being said, the publisher pricing on these books is getting quite aggressive (due to their booming popularity I surmise). With this latest book, the MSRP pricing has gone up 25% from the previous book, which itself was already on the high end of children's books. Sure this book may be a little bigger, but not 25% bigger.I would recommend to the publisher that to provide proper value (at negligible marginal costs, in fact it might be additive to revenue) that they make the rational decision to bundle the physical book AND the Kindle book in the one physical book price (my son likes to read both, depending on situation, but no way I'm buying both of each book). With that kind of bundled value (again at marginal cost impact and I suspect it would be a revenue upside) these books might be worth these lofty prices. In the meantime I highly recommend to potential buyers that if you can get away with it with your youngster (I can, my kid is very logical and reasonable), then it is better to buy these books second hand through sellers or through your local used book store.It should be noted, that given the frequency and volume of Stilton releases in general lately, it's obvious there is a whole factory of authors behind these books now, not just one author, so this really isn't a "author needs to make a buck" situation so much as it is "publisher needs to act more rationally before there's blowback" situation. Stilton may have started with one author/creator, but now it is quite the machine.
My soon-to-be 3rd grader could NOT put the book down. He even brought it to summer camp to share with his friends, who also found the book fascinating! Read the entire book in about a week. Bought him the Enchanted Charms book (Geronimo Stilton) but he said nothing compares to the Phoenix of Destiny:)
My 8 year old is addicted to these books. These books made him VOLUNTARILY go and read in his room! I actually had to get mad at him and tell him to put down his book to eat! (He hated reading before!)
Another great installment of The Kingdom of Fantasy series. This one is longer than the previous books, and with the gold rimmed pages, it's definitely worth the money. My 9 yr old can't wait for next one!
The pheonix of destiny is an awesome book but the title- The Pheonix Of Destiny was not appropriate coz the book had nothing to do with the pheonix of destiny except that it came to take Ger to The Kingdom of Fantasy.The book is fast-paced, funny etc.I also like that Elizabetta Dami (the original writer of ALL the Ger books) doesnt repeat the same topic in her book.Every book has some or the other thing different.Keep it up.Waiting for next book in Kingdom of Fantasy series-.The Hour Of Magic, which will get released in May or April.
This is probably one of the BEST books we've gotten for our son. Not only is the story very imaginative, we love the drawings on EVERY page alongside tidbits, mazes or other quirky detail for the storyline. It is the first Geronimo Stilton story we've gotten so I'm happy to say it was worth our giving it a go. I splurged on the hardcover & am so glad that I did so. It's a beautiful book with lovely gilt edged pages. A great one to keep in one's collection to read & reread over & over. An amazing woven story which captivates the young (5 year old) without all of the violence in other fantasy stories.
OMG! I love the books they are really fabumouse if you read some books of Geronimo stilton s' books you would know why i used this word. This book i love more because it's a epic one . Till now i have read almost all kingdom fantasy series . I hope all children are reading these type of books
My son is loving it - he was super excited to see how long it was and that it is the same quality writing as the other Geronimo Stilton books.
