This book was about the three most powerful objects on the kingdom of fantasy and most importantly the mystery behind the disappearance of The Queen Blossom.The three most powerful objects in the kingdom of fantasy land are the whispering wand, the crystal spear and the book of a thousand spells.
i rated this book a three star because it was a little bit lame to turn the villains into the good guys because then what is the point of the book. the villain are a very fun part of the book which without i think the book would be as great. My favourite character is Long-beard because he was so powerful and he was able to steal all the three magical objects which is quite impossible and requires a lot of intelligence to do so.Even though he is a bad person he still has the brains. My favourite part of the book was when Geronimo signed the contract with Cleverwing because it was stupid of Geronimo to ask clever wing how to find the hissing serpents. it was stupid because Geronimo knew from the start that Clever wing would never do anything without something in return.

I read this book after my eight-year-old daughter had devoured it and told me I had to read it too. How could I say no when my own child was so taken by a book and by the magic of reading?
“I just wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next,” she said.
This is a fish out of water fantasy about a hero who gets transported into a secondary world, The Kingdom of Fantasy, where three magical objects have been stolen by a mysterious thief, and where Princess Blossom has also been kidnapped. There is a farting invisible cloak, an industrious and scheming raven, and a plethora of fantastical locations that Geronimo travels to in order to unravel the mystery of the theft and kidnapping.
The major strengths of this book, and I imagine this series as a whole, is the colourful artwork, vibrant locations, and curious characters. The plot itself is paper thin and the way things get wrapped up is incredibly convenient. The villain essentially gives the hero what he needs to find the missing objects, and there is no major confrontation at the end. There is a good message about the real magic of life being friendship, but I didn’t feel it followed well enough from what had happened in the book itself. Geronimo didn’t have friends throughout the book as much as people in trouble who put him in positions where he had no choice but to help.
Anyway, this was a 3.5/5 for me, but I rounded up to 4 because of the excitement it brought to my daughter. A fun, breezy read overall with an impressive amount of creativity stuffed into its vibrant pages.

May 4, 2020So far I think this is the best book of the series, honestly I mean, I think the rest were great too but this book isn’t about the adventure, it’s about what’s behind it and what they learnt. This fact set this book different from the others.
The story starts with Geronimo having a really really bad day — and I mean it! The story of Kingdom of Fantasy also starts quite typically, Queen Blossom is missing, again. Other than that, 3 other things were stolen, when used together, they could destroy the Crystal Castle. One of those things was called the Whispering Wand.
Geronimo then goes to find the keepers of the items, and he finds clues along the way. An invisible cloak and a raven as his partners on the quest.
———
Once Geronimo manages to find all the items, he begins to use them. Chanting spells from the spell book (one of the items) and using the Whispering Wand. He then made a mess with the wand and he eventually decided to clean it up without any help of magic.
———
Then why do I say this is the best story out of all of them? It’s because of one sentence in the conclusion chapter: “There’s no such thing as a magic wand that can fix everything in an instant. Instead, honesty, sincerity, perseverance, dedication, and friendship are the tools that can do the most good in life.”
(I kind of reworded the first part of the sentence but it still means the same!)

This is a tale of fantasy and magic. The Wizards Wand by Geronimo Stilton is a wonderful example of how far friendship will get you in life. In Geronimo Stilton, it offers a wide array of pictures. For example, on every page there is a picture. In this book it it offers lots of diagrams. Like when, Geronimo is entering a new land, it shows a map of the land. For people that are young or just reading, for the somewhat tricky words there are little pictures of what that word might mean. Such as, when the book said bounced, the letters where wiggly kinda like they were bouncing. If you like fantasy and magic this book is for you.

Another great adventure for Geronimo Stilton to the Kingdom or Fantasy. This time Geronimo has to save Queen Blossom and solve the mystery of the missing Book of a Thousand Spells, the Crystal Sphere and the Whispering Wand.
Accompanying Geronimo was the invisible cloak who is fed beans and constantly doing stinky toots! Geronimo mustn’t feed it more than three beans per day. Also on the journey, he meets Cleverwing the raven, who is very greedy for gold coins.

Come al solito, ogni viaggio nel regno della fantasia, mi ha riempito il cuore di calore, ottengo solo energia positiva quando leggo questa serie.
Nonostante abbia 21 anni, mi ritrovo a leggere il libro con grande entusiasmo, l'unica pecca è che secondo me il finale è stato troppo veloce, ma per il resto dà un grande insegnamento ai bambini che lo leggeranno.

It is a very interesting book. This book is good for beginners. When you start reading this book you will be not very curious but when you come to the fifth page you will be very curious because there are some mysteries in this book that start from the fifth page.

I really liked this book because I liked the part when the invisible cloak kept on farting. I didn't like the part when it turned out that the whole adventure was just a night.

Devo ammetterlo: la magia che hanno i primi tre volumi di questa serie resta imparabile, almeno per quanto mi riguarda, ma ogni libro ha a modo suo comunque qualcosa da dare ;).
