Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novels #2: The Secret of the Sphinx

Our students love the Geronimo Stilton series. I'm happy to see that the author is still going strong.

My son loves these books. I always preorder the new ones. Anything to keep them reading! Great book, great adventures.

Two full-color graphic novels revolving around rat Geronimo Stilton offer fun fictional adventures especially recommended for reluctant readers who need plenty of excitement and graphic stimulation. THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA has Geronimo facing his worst enemies: the pirate cats, who have discovered how to time travel and change history. THE SECRET OF THE SPHINX continues the saga: here the cats are trying to change the face of the Great Sphinx into a cat's face. Swift action and adventure make for outstanding fun titles.

Jim Salicrup and his group of creators at Papercutz have unveiled yet another winning series. Geronimo Stilton leaps from the pages of the juvenile novels into a full color, fully illustrated graphic novel that resonates with readers of all ages. Right out of the chute come two books, "Secret of the Sphinx" and "The Discovery of America". These are not done specifically for Papercutz, but rather done first in France and translated into English. The stories are cheery, educational, and adventurous. Like the Discovery of America, the Pirate Cats provide motivation for Stilton and his friends to travel through time and different cultures. In "Sphinx", the pirate cats try to get the Pharaoh Chephren to turn the Sphinx into a cat instead of a lion, and in "America" the cats try to change history. My son read "Sphinx" as soon as it arrived and he loved it. His first response was to share it with his friends at school in grade seven. But, it was still summer vacation so he has to wait. I read the books and enjoyed them, comparing my knowledge to what the books contained. Qualified educational consultants ensured the books would not misinform. I heartily recommend Geronimo Stilton, the graphic novels as I do the juvenile novels. Papercutz has a great new addition to their line that will surely become success. Tim Lasiuta
