The Mummy With No Name

Egypt before Halloween ought to mean pyramids and quiet note-taking, but the twenty-sixth Geronimo Stilton book has other plans for its reporter. Ancient sites, local history and a mystery with mummies in it give the story a factual backdrop that children absorb while chasing the jokes. Friends and family supply the nerve Geronimo lacks, and the resolution is kept back until late, so there is always a reason to turn the page. Highlights of this edition: • An Egyptian setting used for real landmarks and real history • Seasonal Halloween flavor without anything genuinely frightening • Support from Geronimo's circle when his own courage runs out • Brief chapters that suit developing readers aged seven upward Well matched to children around seven to ten, classroom shelves and parents who want fiction with a little history attached.
