But in the end of the book there was a long list of other stories featuring Geronimo and others. I hadn't realized there were earlier adventures. I did find it sort of annoying how, every once in awhile, Geronimo would drop a line referencing an earlier adventure of his in the Kingdom of Fantasy. She wanted them to trap the real Blossom away forever! :-) So that was a fun twist, and it explained why "Blossom" kept sending Geronimo after increasingly difficult-to-find treasures. I had thought she was just bewitched by Cackle, the queen of the witches. It took me by surprise that "Blossom" was really her twin sister (she had a twin?!). But he did eventually investigate, and he did eventually solve that mystery.
I was a wee bit disappointed that it took Geronimo so long to realize that Blossom so wasn't herself that he should investigate why. The team who created them did a fantastic job! They were so vibrant! :-) I loved how the text incorporated special fonts and font effects to delineate certain words (example: the word blue was colored blue).Īnd I really loved the illustrations. :-/Īpart from that minor complaint, though, this was a fun story. I did enjoy this story, but I didn't want to go through all 574 pages again to find those things. I do wish, though, that the pages that asked us to find the phoenix feathers and Geronimo's notebook and pen had been worked into the beginning of the story. I loved how we readers were given mazes and puzzles to solve, and a strange alphabet to decode (with the help of the key at the end of the book).
Geronimo Stilton is a delightful mouse protagonist and his adventures in here made for fascinating reading. Sadly, I still have over 500 pages to go in Lonesome Dove, but I wanted to finish one of the four tomes I was reading, so I focused on this one today (August 8, 2017).
This book made for a nice break when I was feeling bored by another of the tomes I am reading (*ahem* Lonesome Dove *cough, cough*). I checked it out from my library because I love how the book is designed: it has an intriguing cover and gold-edged pages! I read it as part of the Tome Topple Readathon.
