Someone with Geronimo Stilton's exact face is causing trouble across New Mouse City, and the real Geronimo is getting the blame. Book six turns that premise into a chase after the truth.
The mystery is constructed so that young readers can track the clues and guess ahead, which is part of its appeal. Jokes arrive frequently, the chapters are short, and the illustrated pages break up text in a way that suits children still gaining reading stamina. Curiosity and problem-solving are quietly encouraged throughout.
