Geronimo Stilton, mystery solving mouse, is one of the world’s most popular book series, with more than 200 books selling more than 180 million copies in 49 languages, Papercutz has been bringing the graphic novel versions of Geronimo’s adventures for a while; and Papercutz (now owned by Mad Cave) is continuing the tradition with Geronimo Stilton Reporter 3 in 1 Vol.4, which goes on sale February 6, 2024. (Yes we’re already into 2024.)
The treble sized volume collect three of the “Geronimo Stilton Reporter” stories, which are based on the Geronimo Stilton Animated series: “Blackrat’s Treasure,” “Intrigue on the Rodent Express” and “Mouse House of the Future”. These adventures find Geronimo and company taking on pirates, a dangerous train journey and an overzealous home organizer named Professor Cheesewheel.
In case you don’t have kids in your life who love this series, the conceit of the books is that they are created by Geronimo himself, whose day job is as a “famouse” editor/owner of the The Rodents Gazette, a newspaper in New Mouse City. Despite his desire to live a somewhat nerdy life as a journo, Geronimo is constantly getting caught up in adventures and mysteries with his young relatives.
Oh and most everyone in the book is a mouse. And many of them like cheese.
According to his bio, “Born in New Mouse City, Mouse Island, Geronimo Stilton is Rattus Emeritus of Mousomorphic Literature and of Neo-Ratonic Comparative Philosophy. He is the director of The Rodent’s Gazette, New Mouse City’s most widely read daily newspaper.
“Stilton was awarded the Ratitzer Prize for his scoops on The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid and The Search for Sunken Treasure. He has also received the Anderson 2001 Prize for Personality of the Year. One of his bestsellers won the 2002 eBook Award for world’s best ratling electronic book. In 2006 he won the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards and in 2008 he won the Cartoomics prize ‘Beyond Comics’. His works have been published all over the globe.”
The Stilton series was created in Italy by writer Elisabetta Dami and has been extended in every medium possible since 1997. Scholastic has been publishing the prose books in the US, but Papercutz has been the home for the comics version for quite some time – to a notable amount of success. Kids really like Geronimo Stilton.
