Halloween and Egypt and mummies . . . oh, my! I admit it, I am a 'fraidy mouse. Halloween scares me out of my fur! But this Halloween, I was heading off on an adventure in one of my very favorite places: Egypt. I couldn't wait to see the sights and soak up some sun far away from New Mouse City. What I didn't realize was that Halloween is popular in Egypt, too -- with the mummies, that is! Oh, what's a 'fraidy mouse to do?

un libro del 2005 su un topo parlante è stato in grado di toccare l’argomento della restituzione museale meglio di qualsiasi conferenza stampa del british museum … che dire !!!

“Mentre prendevano l’aereo per tornare a Topazia, spiegai a Benjamin: — Tutti noi abbiamo molta curiosità per le mummie, perché sono la testimonianza di una civiltà ancora misteriosa, È giusto studiarle per conoscere i segreti dell’Antico Egitto… ma ci vuole rispetto. Ora il faraone Top-An-Rat e sua moglie Top-Nefer sono solo mummie. Ma un tempo, come noi, hanno provato sentimenti, passioni, emozioni… e hanno diritto a risposare per sempre in pace, nella loro terra!”

This book had a mixture of halloween chills Egypt feeling and most importantly mummies. In this book Geronimo went to help but guess what happened the mummies weren't any ordinary mummies they were alive .My favourite character in this book is the villain because the villain was very SMART and FAST. my favourite part of this book was when the villain revealed herself. i think this was the perfect Halloween and would wish to have such an experience on a halloween night where some say ghosts come alive which i know isn't true.i also liked the bit where everyone worked together to find the pharaohs treasure.

Geronimo Stilton wordt gebeld door Hiero Glief, het hoofd van het Egypte museum. Er is iets vreemds gaande en Hiero heeft zijn hulp nodig. Natuurlijk gaat Geronimo er meteen op af. Samen met zijn neefje Ben en diens vriendinnetje Pan gaan ze op onderzoek uit. Maar zag hij daar nou een echte mummie? Dit is de Makkelijk Lezen versie van het spannende Stilton verhaal over mummies, met minder moeilijke woorden en kortere zinnen.

Even een notitie tussendoor, ik miste belangrijke informatie in de tekst. Zo waren er ineens karakters bij waarvan nergens geschreven was dat ze erbij waren gekomen. Het was daardoor erg rommelig om te begrijpen wie waar was. Want locaties en karakters werden niet goed geïntroduceerd. Dat staat uiteraard niet zo in de biblion beschrijving, maar dat vond ik zelf wel een opvallend puntje. Net als dat soms de zinsbouw niet klopte. Dan stond er bijvoorbeeld "de mummie" als laatste in de zin om het spannend te houden, maar dan zouden we die zin in het Nederlands nooit zo zeggen. Ik dacht eerst dat het slecht vertaald was vanuit het Italiaans, maar ik zie dat het alweer een herschreven versie is speciaal voor ML, dan nog vind ik dat er wel wat rommelige fouten instonden...


Geschreven in de ik-vorm vanuit Geronimo. Het verhaal heeft tussendoor feitjes over het oude Egypte die niet op MLP niveau zijn. De kleurrijke, cartoonachtige tekeningen ondersteunen de tekst en worden afgewisseld met af en toe een pagina vullende illustratie. De tekst zelf is in grote, schreefloze letters waarbij sommige woorden en zinnen worden uitgelicht in een ander lettertype en kleur. Zinsbouw is soms te letterlijk vertaald en leest niet altijd natuurlijk. Nieuwe karakters worden voorgesteld op een eigen pagina met biografische gegevens. Met achterin knutseltips voor een mummiefeestje, vragen over de tekst en een puzzel.

+Egypte + mummies + een tof museum? Kom maar door! Ik vond het leuk dat we wat weetjes kregen tussen de tekst door en ook de mummie was leuk om meer over te weten.
+Een spannend mysterie met een bange Stilton, haha, sorry, maar die jongen is echt veel te bang. XD Het mysterie leuk en ook de whodunnit was goed!
+Leuk om te zien hoe klein Benjamin is (en ook zijn vriendinnetje), ik ken ze voornamelijk als wat ouder, maar hier is echt nog jong. Al is ie net zo enthousiast.
+Leuke illustraties!
+FEESTJJEEE!! Plus, bonus extras hoe je ook zo'n feestje kunt organiseren!

Maar sorry, ik moest wel lachen dat de farao en zijn vrouw heel vruchtbaar waren, ze hadden wel 12 kinderen. Um, beste schrijver, je hebt het hier wel over muizen? 12 is echt niet vruchtbaar hoor. 🤣

Opnieuw een erg druk en (letterlijk) kleurrijk verhaal met Geronimo Stilton in de hoofdrol. Veel aktie en nog meer gepraat/gedachten over aktie.
De weetjes over het oude Egypte ontbreken niet. De tekeningen zijn haast net zo belangrijk als het verhaal zelf, duidelijk iets om samen te lezen want het lettertype met allerlei suggestieve tekeningetjes nodigt niet echt uit tot eerste leespoging.
De spanning en griezelige ogenblikken worden onmiddellijk geneutraliseerd door iets grappigs dat er onmiddellijk opo volgt.
Het resultaat is mogelijk wel een levenslange fascinatie door het oude Egypte - maar ja, wie heeft daar nu geen last van?

Honestly I was more interested in whether our hero Geronimo was going to ask out Petunia on a date.

SPOILERS!
He had her on the phone and chickened out. There’s a nonsensical story here about a mummy that was not needed.

I think I’m supposed to know these characters good and bad from the previous adventures, but the fever dream that was the Unnamed Mummy just rattled off undeveloped characters trying to Scooby Doo a heist and other thrown in events not relevant to the plot.

In the end Geronimo sleeps alone.

Me encantaban los libros de Geronimo cuando chico y he querido leer este en italiano para seguir aprendiendo.

Er schijnt te spoken in Rochefords historisch museum.
Een mummie dwaalt er door de gangen en jaagt iedere bezoeker weg.
Geronimo, Benjamin en Pandora gaan op onderzoek uit.

[Chiara · Rating 4 out of 5]

i started to read this book because i was told by a friend that it was one of the best Geronimo Stilton has written in this series.
the category i put this book in was that the main character in this book is male because Geronimo Stilton is the main character in this book and he is always in the middle of trouble and adventures.
the part i liked about this book was how the mummy was running after all of them in the scary museum in Egypt and then Geronimo had been a hero for them as they were all traped in a trap door part and Geronimo had found a way out for them and they had excaped from the mummy and dissapeared from the scary museum.
the thing i disliked about this was nothing really because it was childlike but funny to imagine with the funny wording and illustrations.
i would recommend this book for anybody that loves Geronimo Stilton books because this is one of mine and the best books out of this series of them.

This book was funny because Geronimo is a scaredy mouse and he gets scared easily so since they're in a haunted museum he gets scared a lot and it is really funny how he faints a lot and I'm pretty sure that all my reviews are the same but that's just what I like about the book that are Geronimo Stilton [that they're funny].

[Melissa Namba · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was better than other Geronimo Stilton books, but it was still bleh with too much focus on font. I appreciated the little historical tidbits, but there was so much more that they could have added. I mean, hello! Mummies are fascinating!

[Joyce · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one was really hilarious. The story plot was very interesting. I liked the facts on Egypt very much. The mystery aspect was intriguing and I like the lesson at the end. Indeed, love is a precious thing that should be treasured.

This book is a young fiction which covers 4 major characters. 1) Geronimo Stilton is a quick-witted mouse who is also the editor of the most famous magazine in New Mouse City : The Rodent's Gazette.
2) Benjamin Stilton is a lovely nine-year-old mouse and also Geronimo's favourite nephew. 3) Bugsy Wugsy is Petunia Pretty Paw's niece and is very active like tornado. 4) Professor Cyril B. Sandsnout who is the director of the Egyptian Mouseum in New Mouse City and travels around the world in search of mysterious papyruses.

This story begins with Geronimo, Bugsy Wugsy and Benjamin going to the Egyptian Mouseum after they got to know that Professor Sandsnout needed their help to solve the mystery of the mummy with no name. They all go there and find the missing piece of the papyrus which mentioned that the priceless treasure of the mummy (pharaoh of upper and lower Egypt) was his wife Neferati. They then sent Akhenraten's sarcophagus to Cairo, the capital of Egypt where it was placed next to the sarcophagus of queen Neferati.

This is a thriller which keeps a suspense till the end. It is a book with positive, happy and successful ending.

Miss 5 listened to this by audiobook and enjoyed it so much that she asked for another. (After we listened to all of the audiobook Geronimo Stilton's that we could borrow, we started buying and borrowing the physical books; it helped that she was already very familiar with the characters and their quirks).

Miss 5 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

When I was a kid, I used to be an avid collector of Geronimo Stilton, with the books still carefully stored in my room (out of all the Geronimos I read, this was the most special for me). I even remember trying to memorize all the mice that made up The Rodent Gazette—that was how crazy I was about it. This series had successfully carved its permanent place in my childhood, playing a huge part in enriching my young view of the world and strengthening my imagination.

‘Geronimo Stilton Reporter #4: The Mummy With No Name' by Geronimo Stilton is a graphic novel adventure.

When a field trip to visit the mummies at New Mouse City Museum discovers that one of the mummies might be wandering about, brings a new story to Geronimo Stilton and his friend Professor Hyro Glyff.

This is a good story for young readers. The art and plot are captivating.
