The Hunt for the Golden Book
First there was Geronimo, an American Indian, a famous warrior chief who battled courageously against settlers in the Wild West. Now there is Geronimo Stilton, a famous writerly mouse whose exploits are more a battle of wits - or cheesy bits, if his creator Elisabetta Dani has her way. The Hunt for the Golden Book, the latest offering in the prolific Geronimo Stilton series of books, is a special edition that boasts an extra story after the main adventure, in which Geronimo’s laptop is stolen, as well as some typically cheesy jokes.
From its lavish dust cover, detailed in gold, to its full colour illustrations and playful use of different fonts and typefaces, The Hunt for the Golden Book, is an attention grabber bound to delight Geronimo Stilton’s army of young fans. Best suited to independent readers aged from 7 to 10 years, The Hunt for the Golden Book has 190+ pages and is available in hard cover.

This book is divided into two parts, two separate stories , both are awesome. It is about the adventures of Geronimo and his friends, how they act intelligently and save themselves from the trouble. The first story tells us how Geronimo writes a special book, " the hunt for the golden book" and dediactes this special edition to his grandfather. The second story is about as how he figures out that his rival cheated him and the world and how he unravels the truth .

I cant get enough of Geronimo Stilton's books and each time i read one of these books , i end up laughing and chortling. The plot of this book is a little weird , different from rest of the other Stilton's books .Its a small tale of adventures and mystery and its very funny read. I would recommend to all the kids .

I love that how Geronimo always time passes in his book before the adventure or the horror, and then when the Lola thing and the adventure and then the stolen computer and all of that was nice, and then in the last grandfather, Williams note was amazing. I love the book. I gave it five rating.

This a good mystery but I find the text colors and different fonts distracting. The students in my school like these books entertaining but they are just getting confident in their reading.

His grandfather, Shortpaws Williams tell Geronimo to celebrate a big party for the 10th year and tell him to write a book named The Golden Book with a golden cover which shows that there is a big hand of his grandfather in his success. There were only 7 days left for the party, so Geronimo wrote the book in his laptop as fast he could. Many days gone but he still didn't complete the book. One day while writing the book he finished it and slept, after waking up he saw that his laptop was not there. Then one Mouse told him that his laptop was taken by the Tip Top tech company.

The Hunt For The Golden Book by Geronimo Stilton is a collection of 2 stories. First is the main story named The Hunt For The Golden Book , and the second story which is called a mini mystery named The Lake Monster. On Geronimo's 10th anniversary of publishing his first book , Geronimo's Grandfather requested him to write a story on his journey to successful writing and which he agreed.
The Laptop on which he was typing on , somehow got stolen . And from that point the adventure started in the story.
The books genre are Adventure and Comics.
The book seems thrilling by it's title.
The main character is Geronimo Stilton.
The other important characters were Thea, Trap and grandfather William Shortpaws.
I could relate with Geronimo when he fainted because his laptop was stolen.
My favorite part was when Thea, Geronimo , Trap and Benjamin were rushing out to get on the cargo plane.
I loved this book because there were lot's of illustrations and it also had my favourite genre adventure.
Kid's especially kids between the age group 7-9 will really love this book.

Elisabetta Dami, the author of this book is an Italian children's books author who is famous as the creator of the character 'Geronimo Stilton'. Elisabetta Dami's speciality is , they make the lines attractive , for an example- whenever they're introducing Geronimo Stilton,the font will be in the cursive and it seems very attractive. They give pictures to understand what's happening and also there would be an additional story to boost our intelligence and they put some comedic jokes also.Here,in this story, Geronimo Stilton's laptop is stolen just as he is finishing up writing a special book as Geronimo and all are celebrating the 10th year of Geronimo Stilton books and they finally got it. In this book, William Shortpaws [ Geronimo's grandfather ] is getting married to Countess Lola Von Muenster. In this book, they're talking about how precious love is. There is also a mini mystery story in this book,which is interesting. Thus, I loved the book very much.

This book has been written by Italian children's book author Elisabetta Dami / the writer of the series Geronimo Stilton series.
This book has two stories. The first is about how Geronimo Stilton ,a mouse, had to write," The Golden Book" in less than a week , as he had given a word to his grandfather ,William Shortpaws, who had told Geronimo to write about him. Grandfather thought that by this he could impress his school crush Lola, at a party.
After Geronimo was almost done writing for Grandpa chronicling his life , his laptop was taken ,and, the rodent family had quite an adventure finding the book.
The second story narrates the events by which Geronimo unravels the truth about the fake lake monster.
The language is simple and lucid and the book has plenty of colorful illustrations ,which makes it a good read and the unfolding mysteries make the book absorbing.
This book is for all ages!!

Geronimo Stilton is celebrating 10 years of him writing books. After he is finished, the book mysteriously disappears. Will he be able to find it before the time runs out?
The Hunt For The Golden Book is a very entertaining book that you will enjoy as a quick read. Not only it's funny and interesting, but it also has an additional mystery story at the end where you can find the culprit with the help of different clues. All the characters are well built and the illustrations make it easier to read for kids. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a funny and mysterious book that doesn't take much time to read.

In this book, there is a famous mouse named Geronimo Stilton who owns the most famous castle in the mouse city known as Rodent's Gazette. He loves to write books and now it has been 10 years of Geronimo writing books. His grandfather, William Shortpaws want to celebrate this auspicious occasion but Geronimo doesn't like to party. You have to read the book to know what happens next. My favorite character in the book is Geronimo because he is very dedicated, faithful and adorable. I love the part when Geronimo was struggling to get his book in the cargo airplane because it's very funny but also sad. I would highly tell people who love to read hilarious book should definitely read this one. I would like to give this book a 10/10.

Geronimo Stilton The hunt for the golden book is a fabulous book. The story is When Geronimo Stilton is middle of writing a book and then someone stole his laptop and how Geronimo gets back his laptop and finishes writing his book before his ten years of writing and publishing party. First of all, it also has how a book is made.I give this book a four-star rating because of three reasons, I like the part when Geronimo Stilton gets his laptop, finishes writing his book and jumps out of the plane with his parachute, I felt it was funny when geronimo got wrapped in paper as the other books. I recommend this book to those who like scavenger hunts.

It was a funny book in which gernimo as a gentle mouse helped his grandfather who wanted to win his crush Lola. To achieve this is wanted his grandson Lola's favourite author to write a book about his success with a condition that himself William shortpaws was its cause . The rest of the story revolves around Geronimo's struggle to complete the book and take it to the publisher's. The second story is about a lake monster seen outside an hotel. Although, the mystery is that only Geronimo's rival can get a good pic . While other publishers are publishers are busy fighting Gernimo clears the mystery. And finally the last pages have Geronimo jokes . Jokes about a mouse carrying a ladder,best place to put cheese and many more jokes.

It is about a mouse who is an author and is writing a book for his grandfather and is celebrating 10 years of writing books and suddenly his laptop disappears .

It is for young readers, fans of comedy and I would compare it to other Geronimo Stilton books .
I would rate it an 8 out of 10

Loved the mini mystery and the cheesy jokes.I was amazed to know that mice can be so intelligent authors.That mozerella cheese improves mice brains seems great.Good old typeriters were more "theftsafe" than "laptops".
