Overview

More than 18 million Geronimo Stilton books in print!

Finally, I was about to leave for a relaxing vacation all by myself. I was ready to kick back and connect with nature. But somehow, my peaceful trip turned into a crazy treasure hunt in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota with the entire Stilton clan in tow! Our journey even included a hot-air balloon ride to Mount Rushmore. Holey cheese! This was one adventure I'd truly remember.

"Lightning pace and full-color design will hook kids in a flash." -- Publishers Weekly

From the Publisher

The famous mouse may think he is about to take a relaxing vacation, but his family has other ideas. Before you can swallow a chunk of cheese, Stilton's first class ticket has been downsized and he finds himself sharing a flight on "Dirt Cheap Airlines" with his entire family. It turns out Geronimo's cousin Trap has set up a treasure hunting vacation for the whole family in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Geronimo's peaceful vacation turns into a rollicking adventure with lots of laughs. Along the way, he (and his readers) learns all about this area of the country, from Mount Rushmore to Devil's Tower (which is just across the border in Wyoming). Sprinkled among the large typeset are phrases in playful, colorful fonts. The cartoon illustrations add humor and a comic book feel with funny captions and dialogue, making this a terrific early chapter book for new readers. Fans of this series will be sure to enjoy another adventure full of comedy, adventure, and plenty of cheesy puns. Reviewer: Heather Christensen
