Review #16413 - Dated: 25th of June, 2016
Author: holden05 |
There’s a parallel universe…. And Geronimo Stilton has discovered it, and so the Space mice series has been born. All the famous Stilton characters are part of this new parallel dimension. The story starts with Captain Geronimo planning a day off, until his cousin catches him in the act of sneaking off. Soon everyone was joining Captain Geronimo in his day at the beach, but as everyone knows the company of family and friends means fun amplified. As the day progresses it’s time for a game of Frisbee, and this is when they stumble (Literally) across something mysterious, and in the age old formula of the Stilton stories this is when the story begins to unfold…. Our mousey heroes began to un-mouse what the mysterious object is, and imagine their delight when they discover it’s a map!
Well that’s enough of that or I’ll give the plot away! It’s safe to say this is a wonderful read, and in the furry footsteps of the books that precede it, it broadens our young readers vocabularies with words like hypothesis, bizarre, navigate, manoeuvres, churning… and on and on these words are woven into the text, but stand out in different fonts and with bright colours, to ensure that our young readers are drawn to them, and these words impact on our readers minds.
As a parent I don’t like this series as much as the other Stilton books simply because it is all science fiction, so it’s not peppered with real facts. It is still full of the delightfully colourful drawings and little descriptions but they are all imaginary. I didn’t know how my girl would like this, as in my mind space mice are a more boy type genre but I didn’t hear any complaints from my young readers, in fact I had difficulty getting this book back to write my review! Based on that I would say this is another successful book within the Stilton series, and my young readers are keen to read more of the space mice stories. All Stilton fans would like to read this and I can see that readers who are star wars mad and don’t tend to deviate from anything around the star wars culture would be captivated by these because of the space element too.
