Two more exciting adventures from the internationally bestselling mouse who always gets the scoop--Geronimo Stilton!
Format: 2 CDs, Unabridged
I'm Geronimo Stilton. I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing adventure stories. In my first adventure I find a secret map hidden beneath Mouse Island's most famous painting, the Monamouse that leads to the most fabumouse discovery beneath the streets of New Mouse City! And in my second adventure my grandfather Willian Shortpaws was determined to torture me. He wanted to publish a guide book to Ratzikistan, the Siberia of Mouse Island. And he ordered *me* to go there to write it! But as you know, dear reader, I HATE TRAVELING!
Elisabetta Dami is an Italian author that currently resides in Italy. She is the author of the Geronimo Stilton series, a bestselling childrens book. She enjoys traveling the world seeking ideas for her series. She writes under a pseudonym of Geronimo Stilton. She is also a co-owner of Italian based publishing company Edizioni Piemme.
Part 1: Geronimo, Trap, Thea and Benjamin follow clues found in the underpainting of the famous Mona Mousa. They must find all of the clues and solve the mystery before the strange gang they seem to be following as they search.
The unabridged audiobook although read with feeling by Bill Lobley misses the fun of the Stilton format of the texts. The stereotypical voices fit the simple cartoon style story.

My daughter continues to thoroughly enjoy these books. I get tired of the cheese, rat, mouse references but they amuse her. I am sure I will listen to more of this series of audio books despite my opinion of them.
E's favorite book is the Mona Mousa Code. I can't play it enough for her. Her reasoning for the rating: the mysterious code is just the right difficultly to solve and she loves codes!
