Book eighty-five in the long-running Geronimo Stilton series brings the mouse reporter of The Rodent's Gazette back for another illustrated adventure, under the title Legend of Chocolate Hills.
Like the rest of the series, it is shaped for readers moving from picture books to chapter books: short chapters, a light comic voice, full-colour artwork, and the playful typography the books are known for, where words change colour, size and shape to match what is happening. The familiar pattern of a reluctant hero pulled into travel and trouble makes it easy to pick up without having read the earlier numbers.
What sets it apart:
• Number 85 in a series that still reads comfortably on its own
• Colour illustrations and decorated text on nearly every page
• Chapter lengths pitched at newly independent readers
• Humour and gentle adventure rather than genuine peril
A solid choice for children roughly seven to ten and for classroom or home libraries, available at Boipoka.
