Hello readers! I’m back at it with another review!! (Oh god, why do I keep using the same intros? I’m a creative person, I write books for heaven’s sake, and I CAN’T FIND AN INTRO??)
Here I am, writing about another Geronimo Stilton book. “The enormous pearl heist”.
Straight up on the cover, we can see Geronimo the mouse leaning out of a ship or a boat, I don’t know which, looking in wonder at a very large clam. Beside him is Bugsy (don’t mind her name, I don’t know why the author gave that) and his nephew Benjamin whose age never goes higher or lesser than 9 years old.

From the back cover where the blurb is written, we can already tell what will happen, as in general case only one plotline is followed, but I get it, it’s a children’s book, and younger kids enjoy it. (even I used to gobble these up once upon a time)

Geronimo was just feeling like having a relaxing holiday when he and his friends made an ‘amazing discovery’. They had gone scuba diving, and while doing so this mouse spotted an enormous thing that he first thought was the jaws of a predatory animal. In the end, it turned out to be an Oyster.
(seriously, how do you mistake an OYSTER for jaws? Okay whatever.)
And that oyster contained an ‘enormous’ pearl which was very expensive and precious.

And someone wanted to steal it! (I know right, no one would have ever guessed it!) And it was their duty to uncover who it was and protect the pearl at all costs.
Will they be able to?

The book follows Geronimo and co. ‘s adventure in exceptional detail. It’s a little childish. The illustrations are awesome though, it’s not all books that can give you a beautifully detailed picture on every page. I get a lot of inspiration from how they detail all the stuff!

Another good thing is that the book or so, meaning it will be a quick read. Younger children might feel that big books are overwhelming, so such stories are good choices for them.
However, after a certain age, you might begin to feel the stories are getting too silly.anage to wrap up the mystery in only 100 page
One thing about Geronimo Stilton’s books is that while all the titles and stories are written differently, the plot more or less stays the same.

And when someone generously offers them a prize of money or gold etc, they all decide to be noble and decline it. Not in one single book will you find them
taking anything. I suppose it’s a good thing, to teach children not to be greedy.

I like how the story in this book was about something slightly different, I haven’t read a Geronimo Stilton book that talks of sea treasures before. And also the innovative way they free the oyster from the clutches of the evil thieves. It’s very unique, and I found it interesting.

I would suggest that this book is for younger children, who haven’t started middle school yet, because after a certain age, they will start to find it a little silly.
Anyways, see you all in another post! Goodbye now!
