Sally Ratmounsen broke some shocking news: TheRodent's Gazette was out of money and in danger of closing. Then Grandfather William broke even worse news to me: I needed to sell my comfy, cozy house in order to save our paper! How terrible! But could I sell it - and find a new home - in time to help?
I admit it - I'm not much of a muscle mouse. So when I accidentally got signed up for the Mouse Island Marathon, I was so shocked that I lost my squeak! Me, run a marathon? But my friends and family were determined to help me cross that finish line. Holey cheese, I was never going to make it!
I was so excited about Christmas, I could hardly squeak! My nephew Benjamin and I were going to trim the tree and eat lots of delicious Christmas Cheesy Chews. But before you could say "cat alert," disaster struck. I tripped over my tail and ended up in the hospital. And then my mouse hole caught on fire!
Have you met my assistant editor, Pinky Pick? She is only fourteen years old, but she is one of the cleverest mice I know. If you've ever wondered how Pinky came to work for me at The Rodent's Gazette, this is the book for you. It's a loooooong story... and one that's full of adventure, laughs, and, of course, lots of embarrassing moments for yours truly Geronimo Stilton!
When my crush Petunia Pretty Paws gave me a crystal figurine of a boat as a gift, I had to accept it. Oh, was that crystal boat ugly! But then I discovered a piece of paper inside with a mysterious message asking for help! The note was from someone in Venice, so I was from someone in Venice, so I was off to Italy.
My family and I traveled to Milan, Italy, for a special event: the unveiling of the precious ancient parchment containing the secret, original recipe for panettone (a traditional sweet holiday bread). But right before the big moment, the recipe was stolen! And the thief was masquerading as ... me! Could I catch the thief and clear my name?
Holey cheese, it was strange! Rodents kept telling me I'd done things I had no memory of. Was I going crazy? Had the cheese finally slipped off my cracker? No, I soon discovered the truth: There was a Geronimo lookalike going around pretending to be me! Worst of all, he was trying to take over The Rodent's Gazette!
Smokin' Swiss cheese! There was a ghost haunting New Mouse City's subway tunnels. My whiskers were trembling with terror at the thought of it! But I knew I had to get the scoop for The Rodent's Gazatte. So I set off to investigate. Little did I know that I was in for the fright of my life-because the ghost turned out to be a CAT!
I, Geronimo Stilton, was off to the wildest part of Brazil-the Amazon jungle! I ended up on a hunt for a rare crystal treasure, which was stolen from a native tribe in the heart of the forest. I'd encounter alligators, snakes, piranhas, and other dangers on my way.
My troublemaker cousin was trapped in Transratania! And before I could even squeak, my sister, Tea, dragged me along on her rescue mission. Little did we know that Transratania is the land of vampire bats! Holey cheese, bats give me mouse bumps! Why? Well, there's nothing a bat likes more than sinking its teeth into a nice jump-mouse...
