Really liked it, had a good plot and I only wish was a couple pages longer

[Kaitlyns · Rating 4 out of 5]

The boook I am Reading is Paws off Cheddarface, I think that the theme of this book is to not take revenge to far beacuse it can get you introuble and turn right around. Te setting is in New mouse city, the main characters are Geronimo Stilton, Thea Stilton, Trap Stiltion, Benjermin Stilton, and Sally Ratmousen. Sally runs another newpaper “ The Daily Rat” and she is Geronimos enemy, she trys to find a complete look alike who looks just like Geronimo Stilton and make the look alike do bad things or things Geronimo would never do. Then when Geronimo finds out what shes doing it all turns around and noe shes introuble!


This crituqe is a positive critque, I like this book beacuse in the story Geronimo is so comfused and does not know what to do when he finds out the truth, and the fake Geronimo trys to take away his paper and make Sally Ratmousen the head neewspaper person. What I like about that is that Geronimo Stilton is in so much trouble he cant even get into his house, but he never gives uo and he alawys found a way even though the fake Geronimo made the real Geronimos family think that the fake Geronimo was the real one. In the end Geronimo beat Sally Ratmousen and got his newpaper back!

The Geronimo Stilton series can always be counted upon to provide some light-hearted entertainment. It's a great palette cleanser to relax to in between reading more emotionally or mentally draining books.

Imagine finding out that you have a secret twin. A poltergeist, who has been shadowing your life, pretending to be you. That's what poor Geronimo is up against in this installment of the Geronimo Stilton series. This imposter has managed to fool everyone around Geronimo, including his brilliant sister, Thea! As Geronimo investigates and learns the reason why this imposter has stolen his identity, he realizes that there is more at stake than just his identity. His beloved newspaper, The Rodent's Gazette, has been bought by his rival, Sally Ratmousen, the owner of The Daily Rat.

One of the aspects that I like best about the series as a whole is how the mouse world mirrors our own. For example, when Geronimo spends a night on the streets after being locked out of his own home, he overreacts over becoming a holeless mouse.

I was a good mouse. I never bothered anyone. I went to work. I paid my taxes. I volunteered down at the Holeless Shelter. Holey cheese! Now I was a holeless mouse, too!

So adorable.

Similarly, the mice that enter Geronimo's writing contest pay homage to famous (or famouse?) writers from our world. Geronimo receives submissions from Edgar Allan Paw, Franz Ratka, Chews Dickens, and Agatha Ratsie. It's always fun when books feature easter eggs!

My son loves this series, so I thought I'd finally read one. Took about an hour. It was fine. Funny at times. Nothing to worry about. Glad he has a series he likes that can challenge him a little with some of the vocabulary.

Palesemente miglior libro di Geronimo Stilton, il fatto che me ne ricordi ancora è indicativo

[Agali Jimenez · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Paws Off,Cheddarface!," by Geronimo Stilton is the best book I ever read. It is about this mouse named Geronimo Stilton and his family living in New Mouse City. He owns a newspaper called The Rodent's Gazette. His newspaper is one of the best newspaper in New Mouse City. He has an enemy named Sally Ratmousen she owns a newspaper as well but is not as popular as Geronimos. So she has been trying to get rid of The Rodent's Gazette ever since shes heard of it. So she hires a lookalike Geronimo. Then the real Geronimo's family doesnt know who is the real Geronimo and they accidently get rid off the real Geronimo. So I do recomand this book to every bodybecause it is a very good book.

[Kelli · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like the Geronimo Stilton book series because its a quick story and its funny. In this book Geronimo and another mouse are fighting over which one is the real Geronimo Stilton. Geronimo's sister Thea doesn't know which mouse is the real one or the fake one, so she kicks the real Geronimo out of the Rodents Gazette. The imposter sells the Rodents Gazette to she is the Rodents Gazette's number 1# enemy. This story isn't just for kids its for all ages.

[Silke · Rating 4 out of 5]

As with all Geronimo Stilton books, the narrative is infused with humor and clever wordplay, making it an engaging read for both young readers and those young at heart. The author's distinctive writing style, filled with colorful fonts, playful illustrations, and lively fonts, adds an extra layer of charm to the storytelling, making it a visually appealing experience.

The plot keeps readers on their toes, with twists and turns that will captivate young minds. The pacing is just right, maintaining the suspense while allowing for moments of laughter and reflection.

While the book is primarily aimed at a younger audience, it's a delightful read for readers of all ages. Geronimo Stilton once again proves that a good story, sprinkled with humor, can captivate hearts and minds. "Paws Off, Cheddarface!" is an adventure that will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the Geronimo Stilton series.

Harkens back to childhood in a vivid and explicit way. I used to fall asleep to this CD every night, and some of the word choices were pulled from my subconscious mind during my listen throughout my various commutes. The thing that stuck out to me most was the tinge of envy I possess towards Geronimo Stilton. He's a bestselling author who takes pride in his work, in a good book, in his family and his friends. I think back to my childhood dreams of being a writer and I wonder how much of that was inspired by Paws Off Cheddarface. The first half is a genuine tragedy, where an imposter takes everything he loves away from him, it is inspiring to see him cut through the situational stress. The book ends with a complete reversal and external warmth, away from the comical evilness of Sally Ratmousen. Many in the reviews praise the clever wordplay and pun usage, and it's cute and all, but sometimes hearing cheese jokes at a rate 2 per minute can really make your head spin. If anyone wants to borrow my audiobook CD crudely burned onto a verbatim disc, be my guest.

I enjoyed this book specially when my lovely beautiful girl was reading and acting in the same time and I was the listener .we finished this book in 2 days it's a funny ratty book 🙂

[Billy:booklover · Rating 5 out of 5]

This should be one of your favorite books! For some reason they wont tell us the author, but I like mysterius.one of the reasons ilike this book is about the dopleganger. ( a clone. ) The main character Geronimo Stilton is being copied! so he gets in troble for things he didnt do. You may say " Not fair!" or "What rotten guy can this guy be!" I agree! Fortunately there is always a twist in a good story. Sally Ratmousen ( Geronimo's rival ) was the one who tricked and hired a twin for taking over Geronimo's job. When Sydney Starfur the twin understood what happened he apolegized by giving Geronimo tickets to his show, Frontrow Seats! To conclude Sydneys just a mis understood person.

[Denise · Rating 4 out of 5]

After I read this book, I felt bad for Geronimo Stilton because it would be bad if a stranger copied your image as a disguise to trick everyone. The fake Geronimo Stilton was hired by a lady. The lady hired the guy to look like Geronimo because she wanted to ruin his life by taking the whole newsstand that Geronimo owns. I am glad that Geronimo (the real Geronimo) took a revenge on her. And now Geronimo's revenge had worked.

[Farhana Faruq · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ha.. I loved this one!! Geronimo runs into some problems when another (identical) Geronimo shows up in town.

I'm not sure why some reviewers found it boring, it could be because some youngins might not catch the humor.. but I thought it was great! So far, it's my favorite of the series.

Very boring, uninspired series.

[Ferdous Bakhreibah · Rating 5 out of 5]

عجبني فيه اشياء كثيره
اولها اخراج الكتاب مرة بديع الخط واضح وملون وفيه حركتات

My friends and I have read this book a lot of times and I think other people should read it and see if they get a lot of details and the point of the story.

4 Geronimo is seeing double and it is ruining his life stars

This story is about a mouse named Geronimo Stilton, who lives in New Mouse City and runs the Rodent Gazette. Strange things have been happening to him one and can't quite figure out what happened. Stranger mice and friends have been saying things that he does not remember, he sees his face on posters and ads but does not remember doing them, and strangest of all is that his dear newspaper might be in jeopardy because of this mysterious look-alike. It is up to Geronimo and his family to figure out who is behind these appearances before it is too late and his life is ruined.

This story was good and I really liked it. It was a bit different than what the author normally writes and I like how instead of traveling the world through this story, it takes place right in the heart of New Mouse City. It was funny seeing the look-alike act like Geronimo very well until things got serious and could have been dangerous for the both of them. We finally meet Geronimo's arch-rival Sally Ratmousen, who will do anything for a scoop and to be better than Geronimo Stilton and the Rodent Gazette. Overall, It was a really fun book to read and enjoy during my spare time. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.

I have passed over the Geronimo Stilton books many times at the library. I've picked them up, flipped through and put them back down. I am on a quest though to find a chapter book series that my 3rd grader will like so I took a chance and checked out this book from the library. I was pleasantly surprised and she said to give it five stars (I'd probably go with four). The characters were fun - although I wonder if there are a bit too many for younger readers to keep track of. This storyline was interesting and kept us wanting to read more.

Perhaps there will be more Geronimo Stilton in our future. We read this one together, but there are certainly plenty of books in the series to keep her busy if she ends up wanting to read some of the books independently.

Here is my 3rd graders review:

"I liked how that they looked like twins and his sister didn't realize it, but then they did the make up on his cousin, Trap, to get made into Sally."
