Red Pizzas For A Blue Count

Vampire mice, a kidnapping and a country called Transratania make up the trouble in this Geronimo Stilton adventure. Trap has been mouse-napped, which leaves Geronimo and Thea to go after him somewhere Geronimo would very much rather not be. The comedy comes from his reluctance as much as from the rescue itself, and the series format carries it along: fast chapters, lively artwork on nearly every spread, and coloured type used for emphasis and jokes. Geronimo runs a newspaper on Mouse Island and writes adventure stories, and this is one of the tales he tells on himself. Where to start: • A rescue plot set in the vampire-mouse land of Transratania • Features Thea and Trap alongside Geronimo • Illustrated pages and varied typography throughout • Aimed at readers roughly seven to ten years old Good for young readers who like funny adventures with a slightly spooky edge. Available through Boipoka.
