My cousin Trap was entering the Super Chef Contest, which determines the best cook on Mouse Island -- and he was bringing me along as an assistant! Slimy Swiss cheese, I don't know the first thing about cooking fancy dishes . . . and I didn't think Trap did, either. What an appetizing adventure!

Geronimo Stilton: super chef was a very good book that actually ended up having a life lesson init. The lesson was don't cheat to make it to the top. The story was about Geronimo's cousin wanting to go to the super chef contest and compete. But the thing is is that he needed a partner to compete. And eventually, Geronimo agreed to be his partner during the seven day contest. The only thing that he knew is that his cousins food was not good at all and he did not know how he was making it so far in the competition. But on the last night before the last day of the contest to find out who wins, Geronimo found out that his cousin cheated the entire time and had his Aunt make all the food in advance, and he kept it in a freezer behind a screen. But then he ended up breaking his knee and he had to leave the contest. But he wanted Geronimo to take his place and make up a menu on the last day. So he listened to what he had to say and then he made a very simple yet delicious menu and wowed the judges. Then he won the contest and the golden fork trophy as a prize. The moral of the story was obviously not to cheat to get your way to the top, but the good thing is that Geronimo ended up not cheating.

The Super Chef Contest by Geronimo Stilton is a superb book it uses fun words and has a twist to it. There's adventure and action is a fun-loving book that all kids will love. This is a fiction book that uses mice all shapes and sizes as there main characters. The story begins when the cousin Trap wakes up Geronimo by throwing food through his window, and asks him to be his assistant with him in the Super Chef Contest on Gourmetville. Geronimo reluctantly agrees to be his assistant and they leave right away on Trap's RV. Trap is Geronimo's cousin who loves mischief and is always finding a way to get the whole family in trouble. Geronimo is the editor at the Rodents Gazelle and he is very nervous all the time, but also very smart. Together the two mice go on a trip together and have the time of their lives, well most of the time.
This book shows a lot of different emotions. It shows a lot of fun, some mystery, and a lot of adventure. I really enjoy how the author uses unique words that have the words mouse or mice in them. There are many other Geronimo Stilton books in a series and they are all pretty similar. This book shows a fun way to solve a mystery. I suggest this book to others who like Geronimo Stilton books and adventure.

Cooking competitions are very exciting. My mom takes part in some and she has won some too. We as a family love cooking and enjoy watching cooking shows and cooking competitions. I love cooking in general and my classmates and my teacher call me a chef because I love cooking. this book is about trap cooking food but unfortunately, trap was disqualified because he cheated but geronimo was forced to cook in place of trap. My favourite character in this book is geronimo because he was a great cook not great epic . my favourite part of this book was when trap got disqualified for cheating as it was so funny. I'm very happy that geronimo won the competition as he nailed it. it was a very crazy book.

the super chef contest was a very good book. Geronimo Stilton 's cousin needed an assistant, but at the contest, at gourmet ville, he crossed out assistant into victim. Then he crossed out victim into taster.

I liked it because Geronimo won the super chef contest, even though Trap, who was head chef, had cheated with Aunt Sweetfur's food in a portable refrigerator.

My favorite character was Geronimo Stilton! Trap cheated by not making meals, he had a big trunk that was disguised as a portable freezer and he had to cook meals for the cooking contest and Trap cheated by using those dishes to win the contest but he broke his knee during the competition because one night there was a black out at the castle where the chefs competition was. All of the food turned into this really slimy mush. Geronimo Stilton found out and replaced Trap and found out all the stores in town were closed because it was a holiday. As he was going up to the hill to the competition he found a farm that he got all the things that he needed. Then he won the contest.

I would suggest this book for ages 7-10. The Super Chef Contest is about how Geronimo Stilton's cousin enters to win a prestigious cooking contest, bringing Geronimo along as a taste-tester. However, Trap's scheme does not turn out well and Geronimo must decide how to save the day. This book has themes of humor, honor, and honesty.

It was surprising that Trap was cheating, because in the other books he is a great chef, but in this book he used his family's food. There was a twist tho Geronimo Stilton was cooking for him and he won at the end. I think that Trap shouldn't be so selfish he kept the trophy to himself and he didn't deserve it.

When I was in primary school, the Geronimo and Thea Stilton were a big part of my life and this has always been my favorite book in the series. Even 4 years later it still is cause this brought back SOOO many memories and I’m so happy I found this in my family library. It teaches a lot of life lessons and was just so fun to read😂 highly recommend this for all ages😌

it is really special to me because it was one of the two books that my father had bought me. It was certainly not my first book. it might be my sixth or seventh book I read of geronimo stilton. I have read this book more than 5 times. if you know Trap (geronimo's cousin) then it is about a book of them, Trap messing around geronimo taking care of everything.

storia molto carina, ho davvero apprezzato questa nuova lettura. geronimo stilton non delude mai. per me è un po’ incoerente il personaggio di trappola, visto che nei primi libri era famoso per essere un ottimo cuoco, ma per una nuova generazione va bene lo stesso.

I liked the story because Geronimo Stilton’s cousin brother was making him eat disgusting food and they went in a truck to the super chef contest. And in their room there was slime, mosquitoes and moths so the floor got dirty.

I gave this rating because the book was very funny. I think Geronimo is very kind. I would recommend this book to people who like competitions. I like the most that Geronimo wins. If i could change something it will be that i was a race
