Money trouble threatens both the newspaper and the house Geronimo loves, which makes the sixty-first book one of the more personal entries in the series.
The search for a solution produces funny situations and a few genuinely warm ones, and the questions underneath are real: what is worth keeping, and what does a person owe their friends. Elisabetta Dami's creation keeps its light touch, but the dilemma leaves children something to think about after the last page.
How it reads:
• A home and a newspaper both placed at risk at once
• Difficult choices presented without a tidy moral attached
• Warm moments balanced against the running comedy
• Illustrated chapters sized for readers building endurance
Suits children of roughly seven to ten, families reading together and school libraries. Carried in the children's section at Boipoka.
