Dov'è sparito Falco Rosso?

Geronimo Stilton #56

by Geronimo Stilton, Giuseppe Ferrario (Illustrator)

È un afoso pomeriggio di fine luglio e Geronimo deve iniziare a scrivere un nuovo libro, ma non sa di cosa parlare... Sarà nonno Torquato a fargli trovare l'ispirazione, mandandolo in Arizona per acquistare un cappello da cowboy, come quello che lui stesso si era comprato tanti anni prima a Sedona. Oltre al cappello, Geronimo dovrà recuperare una bandana e una piuma di falco da un vecchissimo amico del nonno, Falco Rosso. Inizia così una stratopica avventura alla ricerca del cappello e di Falco Rosso, tra scorpioni, tarantole, serpenti velenosi e colpi di scena mozzafiato.

I am a fan of Geronimo Stilton's books. They not only hilarious but also captivating. It is very compulsive that I have to read it in one go.
Geronimo's grandfather, William Shortpaws, also known as Cheap Mouse William, has gave Geronimo a task to search for the Red Bandit in Arizona and bring back the hat from the Red Bandit he had as a friendship bonding. And Trap's accompanying him throughout the journey and....he's a pain in the neck for Geronimo Stilton. And Poppy, the guide would pronouce Stilton's name wrong as always. Haha. Funny

Grandfather William shortpaws sends his grandson to find the red bandit . If grandfather William shortpaw's hat is broken. If grandfather William shortpaw's grandson finds the red bandit then the red bandit will give grandfather William shortpaws a new hat. Grandfather William shortpaws has a collection of hats. He has 100 hats.

Geronimo Stilton goes to Sedona, Arizona. He goes to find the Red Bandit for a falcon feather and
a red bandanna, he had to also get a cowboy hat from the Silver Cactus, a shop in Sedona. If Geronimo fails his grandfather [William Shortpaws ] would have him by the whiskers.

[Suyog Kunwar]

In this book Geronimo was in search for the red bandit who is his grandfather's friend. His grandfather sent him to Arizona to bring the hat. Geronimo faced many difficulties but was successful to get the hat from red bandit.

A very good book!!

[Amber]

This was a good read! I read it to my 7 and 5 year old boys and they truly enjoyed Geronimo’s adventures in this story! I don’t like how cruel and bossy Geronimo’s grandfather is, and how Geronimo works so hard doing things he doesn’t want to out of fear of his grandfather. However I love that Geronimo is so kindhearted, and braver than he gives himself credit, and that he is a good sport, generous and teaches some good life lessons. He is a really good mouse, and I love that my kids love his stories so much!!

Geronimo went for an adventure to Sedona, Arizona. He has faced a lot of challenges to find Red Bandit, his grandfather’s friend. He learnt that the key of happiness is the simple life in harmony with nature and surrounded by the people he loves.

This books also values the long-last friendship between the grandfathers and Red Bandit. How they still cherished the friendship even though they rarely see each other.

Geronimo Stilton se fue a un Lugar rococo. Ahi fue investigando mucha cosas. Descubrio amigos, cabañas y botes. Y el lugar donde el estuvo fue muy bonito.Que se fueron conosiendo mas. Y fueron amigos. No me ayudo el libro por que ya ha leído un libro así. Me identifiqué por que habían aventuras y a mi me gustan las aventuras. Si, por que a un amigo de mi colonia le dio mucha risa igual que a mi porque es gracioso.Y le recomiendo el libro al que les gustan las aventuras.

[Christine Goodnough]

The quest was an odd one, and poor Geronimo has mishap upon mishap trying to fulfill it -- while transporting a giant jar of chocolate cheese spread. Spoiler: The title is misleading; the "Red Bandit" is not a bandit, nor does he fly, or flee.
The book explains and promotes the Grand Canyon area and the state of Arizona. The Red Bandit, a contented old-timer, finds the key to Happiness in living a peaceful life in tune with nature, surrounded by family.

[Aiman Jamilah]

I read this together with my beginner ESL class. It is definitely one good way to get them to start reading as there are so many colourful pictures. It is meant to be a story for children so some goofiness is expected. We also learned a lot because the book has a lot of pictures with labels explaining different things. The text also uses a lot of similes so we could imagine better what they're trying to convey. Recommended for learners.

[Vanellope]

Definitely not as thrilling of a read at 21 years old as it was when I was 8, but these books really know their audience. As far as Geronimo Stilton volumes go, though, I still wouldn't say this one is number 1 (I mean, come on, there was one with underwater treasure. That's hard to beat), but it's still pretty funny and entertaining.

[Liz]

I’ve never really thought about Arizona beings good place to travel. I’m not one for extreme heat at all. But this adventure just might have convinced me to brave the ungodly temperatures to see the natural beauty that Arizona has to offer.

[Ayaansh]

My first Geronimo Stilton book that I ever read. Bought this when I was a kid at the scholastic book fair in my school, solely because of the graphics. Those days were the best.

Book on the contradictory didn't fulfill my imaginations and expectations as a kid and so then I finished it as a teen.

[Mellanie C]

It was fun visiting Sedona Arizona with Geronimo.

[Shuvosree]
