Geronimo Stilton : The hunt for the Curious Cheese

Geronimo Stilton’s vocation is publisher of The Rodent’s Gazette, New Mouse City’s newspaper. But more often than not, he becomes involved in some mystery with his friend Detective Hercule Poirat. In this case, someone is manufacturing fake cheese from garbage on Mouse Island. It causes breakouts of green warts and intense stomach distress to any mouse that eats it. Their sleuthing uncovers a plot between sewer rat Sleezer and obnoxious cook, Viola Vilewhiskers, that will have the rodent citizens of Mouse Island paying dearly for a cure. With a little help from their friends, Geronimo and Hercule manage to shut down the abominable factory while Viola escapes in her submarine. As an added bonus there is another mystery involving a mysterious painting and a well-known artist. Once again Geronimo and Hercule Poirat join forces to solve that mystery. The book ends with a collection of Geronimo’s jokes and riddles. All this adds up to a fun read peppered with puns, action, and a stimulating text filled with bright colored, bolded words to keep interest high. Geronimo’s witty narration and the brief chapters will keep even reluctant readers engaged. The title is a good choice for reading aloud during story time. Show more Show less
