Egypt, a bad-tempered camel and a long ride across the desert open one of Geronimo Stilton's earliest and best-known outings, in which the reluctant reporter goes looking for the Great Cheese Pyramid.
Among mummies and hieroglyphics he edges toward a secret guarded by the Seven Wonders of an ancient mouse world, with the usual mixture of nerves, complaints and accidental bravery. The book keeps the format younger readers respond to: fast, short scenes, comic asides, colour artwork and text that shifts colour and shape as the story turns.
Reasons readers return to it:
• An Egyptian setting with pyramids, mummies and desert travel
• One of the early titles that established the series voice
• Lively illustration and playful lettering throughout
• Pacing designed to hold readers between seven and ten
Recommended for newly confident readers and reluctant ones alike, The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is available from Boipoka.
