This month sees the release of the first two Geronimo Stilton graphic novels - perfect for any reluctant readers out there.
Geronimo Stilton is a mouse who also happens to be an investigative reporter who always seems to find himself in trouble of one kind or another. In this new series, Geronimo travels back and forth in time defending history from his nemeses the Pirate Cats. In The Discovery of America Geronimo travels from Italy to America and must stop the Pirate Cats from making themselves the rulers of Mouse Island.
