Reports of a phantom haunting the underground lines of New Mouse City start as a newspaper assignment and end as one of Geronimo Stilton's stranger investigations in book thirteen.
The mystery is paced for young readers: clues appear at regular intervals, red herrings are gentle, and the comedy arrives often enough to defuse any tension. Teamwork and friendship carry the resolution. As throughout the series, the visual treatment of the text encourages children who find blocks of plain print discouraging.
