Geronimo Stilton #34
Agente Secreto Cero Cero Ka
Me esperaba una placentera jornada de trabajo… pero mientras me dirigía hacia el Eco del Roedor me fijé en un tipo, o más bien, en un ratón, con gafas oscuras, que me seguía… ¡Qué extraño! Permaneció todo el día delante de mi oficina… ¡Qué extraño! Y por la tarde, cuando salí del periódico me siguió hasta casa… ¡Qué extraño! ¿Quién sería ese tipo, o más bien, aquel ratón con gafas oscuras?

This series came out some years ago, and we have two or three books. I first got it for my son Leo but he was simply not interested in it. The reason I had chosen these books for him was because they have type in different colors and shapes, and I thought it would be fun to read together and then quiz each other to see if we knew the definitions of those colorful words.
Today I found this book (#34 in the series) in the "little Free Library" house that sits outside someone's home.
At home my youngest son read it with me, and we took turns reading the chapters. Even though it is RL3, he happily enjoyed it with me. It has been a happy afternoon.
The book is about Mr. Geronimo Stilton, a newspaper editor for the Rodents Gazette. It is a crazy adventure of an important document that blows away with the wind and travels throughout the city and into the most stinky places in New Mouse City. Mr. Stilton must recover it at all costs and comes close many times only to faint at the last minute. Luckily for him, he has great friends in high (and low) places that help him out.

Aahahahahah hahhahhaha bahahhhaha
THIS BOOK WAS SO FUNNY I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. Geronimo was in the sewer in a part of this book sorry spoiler alert.
I liked this book as I said earlier it was funny Very funny. So the story is about Cornelius Von Kickpaw is very rich and owns a dream mansion. A mansion which I cannot describe as its completely amazing it has all your dreamhouse feature, yeah I'm not kidding it has everything. My favourite character here was Veronica why you ask? Because she is also a SPY. I love spies and if I could be one in the future I would be one for sure. My spy name would be 00A, But I wouldn't want to copy veronica so 00A. The story was obviously about secret agents as you can see I have told you or you would've seen the title of the book like obviously anyway I was saying.
This book was about geronimo stilton trying to find a very very very very very important letter.
But guess what? Geronimo's grandfather had the original letter all along!
DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!
He sent geronimo on a mouse chase (get it) and for what, for nothing how STUPID don't you think. well, I did. it was good but it could have been better if you get what I mean.

2 étoiles. À vrai dire, j’ai été déçu par cette histoire. Les agents secrets n’ont rien fait et Geronimo a fait tout le travail. Je m’attendais à un peu d’aventure et de mystère, mais non… juste les problèmes vraiment trop ridicules de Stilton.
Pimentine Pimenta, une rédactrice qui est également une très bonne amie, vint à ma rencontre.
— Geronimo, nous avons cette réunion importante... avec le ministre... avec ton grand-père...
J’étais perplexe:
— Quelle réunion? Quel ministre? Quel grand-père? Enfin non, pour le grand-père, je sais qui il est, mais pour tout le reste???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 stars. To be honest, I was disappointed by this story. The secret agents did nothing and Geronimo did all the work. I was expecting a bit of adventure and mystery, but no... just Stilton’s much too ridiculous problems.

My son & I are now reading these books. We've finished all the Magic Tree House books and are now reading The Secrets of Droon. I don't understand what's so great about Geronimo, but my son enjoys them so I'm reading them. Secret Agent is the first we've read but we are now reading them in relative order starting with Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye. Personally, I prefer Droon and Magic Tree House, there seems to be more to them than simply action, but that's just me :-)

“Geronimo Stilton, Secret Agent,” written by Elisabetta Dami, focuses on the adventures of Geronimo Stilton as he goes around New Mouse City in search of a large envelope with a red seal. The book’s purpose was to convey to its reader friendship, cleanliness through recycling, and diligence through the main character of the story, Geronimo Stilton. Elisabetta Dami, the author, began writing stories at the age of 19 and was influenced by her father who loved books. The following book review of Elisabetta Dami’s “Geronimo Stilton, Secret Agent” will include a summary of the book, its context, strengths and weaknesses, and the tone of the book. In addition, further recommendations will be provided in the conclusion section.
Aside from writing at a very young age, one of her influences was her quadragenarian age, between 40 and 49, wherein she found out she could not have children. Thus, Dami opted to aid sick kids as a volunteer at a children's hospital and while doing so, she decided to write stories for the children about a mouse named Geronimo Stilton. With the fame and love the stories received, they soon became books. The book “Geronimo Stilton, Secret Agent.” was humorous, instructive, and full of adventure like the other series of books Dami has written. In addition, the genre was fictional and comical, yet it expressed universal and ever-present life principles without resorting to vulgarity. Today, these books could serve as a great source or instrument of learning especially for young kids as they not only benefit their literacy skills but also provide them with life-changing values.
Overall, the book has its strengths and weaknesses. The book is visually interesting with its visual and textual wordplay. Additionally, there were pictures, graphics, unique fonts, designs, and illustrations throughout the book that make it more fun and entertaining. Throughout the book, the author communicates engagingly while providing life-learning values. However, the book doesn’t have the best plot and the story moves at a rather slow pace. It can be a little wearisome for its readers especially adults or older ages because the protagonist, Geronimo, spends more time describing to readers his nervousness in certain situations.
The book starts with a typical morning in Geronimo’s life. When he looked out the window to check the weather in New Mouse City, he noticed something odd; a suspicious-looking rodent was right across the street with a jacket and dark sunglasses. As Geronimo headed to work, he was followed by the suspicious rodent even until he reached home after work. At one point, Geronimo couldn’t take it anymore and approached the mouse to find out who he was. Surprisingly, it was his old friend, Kornelius Von Kickpaw, from elementary school. They both caught up with each other about old times, old friends, and their lives. However, one thing Geronimo did not know was what kind of work Kornelius does and how his life is in great danger which I will let the reader find out for themselves.
In the following chapter, Geronimo is back at work and almost misses an important meeting with his grandfather and the president of the New Mouse City Historical Society. Before going to the meeting, he went to his office to prepare his notes. Suddenly, a large envelope with a red seal on his desk was blown straight out of his window by a strong gust of wind. He tried catching it but was too late; he thought to himself that it could have just been useless mail. As he attended the meeting, one of the main topics that were discussed was an incredibly rare document that was on his desk. It turned out that it was the large envelope with a red seal that he had lost in his office, which contains great value. His grandfather ordered him to find the document and bring it to him the next day. However, what makes this envelope so valuable? Even at one point in the story, Geronimo had to fight against his biggest enemy. I will leave it to the readers to find it out.
The journey begins as Geronimo travels through New Mouse City to find the lost envelope. He first checks out the city’s port while checking several garbage cans but had no luck. Until he had the idea of going to the city’s garbage dump. As he was looking for the envelope, a whole new batch of junk came pouring onto him and he was unable to escape from it. Before fainting, he smelled a delicate perfume and two strong paws trying to pull him out of the junk pile. When he woke up, he was still in the garbage dump but was not buried under junk anymore. He was confused, and at that moment, he spotted the envelope with the red seal being blown by the wind. However, as he was about to grab it, it disappeared into a sewer. He had no choice but to enter the sewer and found out that the envelope was being held by a crocodile in its jaws. Again, before he fainted, he smelled a delicate perfume, and someone was grabbing him by the shoulder. When he woke up, he was now on the streets wondering again who saved him. It was already the next day and Geronimo was unable to find the lost envelope. He sobbed as someone touched his shoulder while smelling the perfume once again. Finally, Geronimo confronts who this person was and what happened with the missing letter. But that is for the reader to find out.
The tone that can be seen throughout the book is joyful, humorous, and informal. The writer uses a certain slang and tries to base the story on a world full of mice. Several words are changed from a human perspective to a fictional mouse genre. Furthermore, considering that Elisabetta Dami was telling stories to sick children, there was no use of vulgarity such as weapons, alcohol, racism, and rude words. Throughout the book, it was reader-friendly, as the protagonist communicates with the reader.
In conclusion, Elisabetta Dami’s book is truly captivating and engaging only to a certain number of readers which mainly includes young kids. Although her writing focuses on promoting moral and righteous values in several aspects of life, it is only limited to fixed audiences. Despite that, it is still a book worth reading.
I sincerely recommend this book to young people around the ages of 5 to 12. However, those who like short comedy books and adventures will also enjoy this book. For children, the book can captivate these young minds and serve as an instrument of learning as the book provides several morals and lessons to its readers. The author of the book creates a connection with the readers by communicating and engaging through jokes, creative visual texts, and illustrations.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes short comedy books. This book is part of a great series about a mouse who is always getting himself into trouble. This mouse is named Geronimo Stilton. He lives in New Mouse City and is the narrator for the series. Many of the things he says are from an animated, talking mouse's point of view,like "cheese nibblets!" This particular book is about Geronimo meeting his elementary school friend again. After talking for a while, this friend announces that he is a secret agent, and if Geronimo is ever in trouble, just call him. Later, Geronimo sees a large envelope on his desk. The window in his office had been left open and the envelope flew through it. Geronimo reached for it, but it was too late. The envelope was gone. He wasn't worried about it until he was told that there was a REALLY important document inside! He was also told that he must have it by the next day! He searched everywhere. And I mean everywhere! He searched in trashcans, the dump, and he kept running into trouble. First, he got a huge amount of garbage dumped on him. He cried HELP! HELP! And someone came and saved him. But he didn't know who it was. The same thing happened when he got in trouble at the sewer. Again, he was saved and again he had no idea who saved him.
Who was it? Why did they help him? Did Geronimo get the envelope back? How disgusting did he look after being in the sewer and the dump? You'll have to read this book to find out!

very exciting....Geronimo sees this guy in a trench coat and glasses, it seems that the guy is following Geronimo. But it turns out the guy was actually Kornelious von Kickpaw (Geronimo's old friend from elementary school). Kornelious says to Geronimo that he's a secret agent, but Geronimo doesn't believe him. soon Kornelious has convinced Geronimo that the is a secret agent but he hasn't convinced him that he's in danger. At the rodents gazzette (the newspaper that he works at) an important envelope has gone missing.What will Geronimo do without Kornelious's help?

This was a fun book. The whole plot is about Geronimo chasing after an envelope which apparently has great value. It was a funny adventure, yet unrealistic in a way that its comical. Yet, through his disastrous day, we are learned of the value of friendship, recycling and honor. This was a good book. Really glad I got to read it.

Geronimo Stilton is a journalist mouse with a talent for solving mysteries in this first chapter book series. The books contain plenty of pictures and imaginative font to hold readers' interest. The order is unimportant in this series--Rachel and Lynn

Geronimo has to run all over town chasing an important envelope, get covered in garbage and sewage, face down his rival editor-in-chief and her security guards, and nearly get eaten by a crocodile. And it turns out the whole thing is just a mean setup by his grandfather. Not my favorite plot twist in this series, though my kids didn’t comment on it. It’s a good thing his secret agent childhood friend was so stubbornly determined to help him out, since the faint ratio in this book is higher than usual.

I’m enjoying this book because I feel fun when Geronimo performing a mission. However I'm confused because strange mouse follow Geronimo. In that situation, I do not understand why Geronimo did not report to the police. I want to recommend to other people because this book can make laugh.
