About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from picture books to longer narratives and needs a high energy story that makes reading feel like a reward rather than a chore. This collection of graphic novel adventures follows Geronimo Stilton, a reluctant hero and journalist, as he navigates mysteries with his boisterous family and friends. The stories focus on the value of teamwork, the importance of truth, and the courage it takes to step outside of one's comfort zone. It is particularly effective for reluctant readers because the vibrant, busy layout and slapstick humor keep the pace moving quickly. Parents will appreciate the way it models persistence and the idea that being 'brave' often means doing the right thing even when you are feeling scared. It is a lighthearted, secular choice perfect for the 7 to 10 age group.
