Holey cheese, what an adventure! I was off to the Ratlápagos Islands with my family in search of a long-lost buried treasure. But oh, how I hate traveling! Being on a ship in the middle of the sea wasn't my idea of a fabumouse time. And I was beginning to suspect that we weren't the only ones searching for the treasure. . . .

Editorial Reviews

The adventurous world of Geronimo Stilton is punningly related in this twenty-fifth book of the series. Geronimo is a newsmouse who is afraid of many things, but he goes along on a search for sunken treasure that includes a plane ride, a boat ride, scuba diving, fleeing from enemy rats and sharks, and finding and losing treasure—all for his dear Aunt Sweetfur who wants to visit the place where her beloved husband was shipwrecked. Short chapters, fun fonts, wacky illustrations, silly mouse jokes, and lots of action keep this series story moving. A good read for reluctant readers. Book #25 from the "Geronimo Stilton" series.

Gr 2-4-Geronimo Stilton is a mouse with a nose for adventure. As editor of New Mouse City's The Rodent's Gazette, Geronimo gets to share the details of his many adventures. Often accompanied by his sister Thea, cousin Trap, and nephew Benjamin, Geronimo finds adventure wherever he goes. In Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye, Geronimo and his family set off on a quest to find the secret treasure marked on a mysterious map. In The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, Geronimo is sent to Egypt to interview the famous archeologist Alrat Spitfur about the Great Cheese Pyramid. While there, Spitfur takes Geronimio into the cursed pharaoh's tomb beginning another grand adventure. In Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House, Geronimo, a self proclaimed fraidy-mouse, finds himself stuck alone in a dark forest on a stormy October night. Things look up when Geronimo finds a castle to take shelter in, but he soon discovers that cats haunt the castle. Narrator Edward Herrmann gives each character an individual voice, instilling the eager, inquisitive qualities of true adventurers into each mouse. However, almost constant background music and sound effects undermine the quality storytelling, frequently overpowering the narration. Herrmann's narration alone would have been much more effective. An additional purchase for collections where Geronimo Stilton books are in demand.-Veronica Schwartz, Des Plaines Public Library, IL Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
