About the Author

There's never before been a book like Gallop! Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, each page is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. It's impossible not to flip the page, and flip it again, and again, and again.

A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the page. A dog runs, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, Scanimation is a state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines the "persistence of vision" principle with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement. It harkens back to the old magical days of the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing, like a Muybridge photo series springing into action—or, in terms kids can relate to, like a video without a screen. Complementing the art is a delightful rhyming text full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: Can you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo!

George travels to the future in the epic conclusion of the George's Secret Key series from Lucy Hawking.

When George finds a way to escape the spacecraft Artemis, where he has been trapped, he is overjoyed.

But something is wrong. There's a barren wasteland where his hometown used to be, intelligent robots roam the streets, and no one will talk to George about the Earth that he used to know. With the help of an unexpected new friend, can George find out what--or who--is behind this terrible new world, before it's too late?

George and Annie are off on another cosmic adventure to figure out why strange things are happening on Earth in the fourth book of the George’s Secret Key series from Stephen and Lucy Hawking.

George and his best friend Annie haven’t had any space adventures for a while and they’re missing the excitement. But not for long, because seriously strange things have started happening.

Banks are handing out free money, supermarkets aren’t able to charge for their produce so people are getting free food, and aircrafts are refusing to fly. It looks like the world’s biggest and best computers have all been hacked. And no one knows why…

It’s up to George and Annie to travel further into space than ever before in order to find out what—or who—is behind it.

Who is Geronimo Stilton? I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing tales of adventure. My books are all bestsellers! What's that? You've never read one? Well, my books are full of fun. They are whisker-licking-good stories, that's a promise! 

I went to Egypt to interview a famous archaeologist! I climbed on a crabby camel that would take me across the desert to the Cheese Pyramid. Among mummies and hieroglyphics, I would learn the secret of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient Mouse World… 

I was lost in a dark, spooky forest, until I stumbled upon Curlypaw Cannycat's Castle. The castle was completely empty, or so I thought. But I quickly discovered that it was haunted by cats! Let me tell you, curiosity almost killed the mouse! 

Halloween is coming and all of the pumpkins in New Mouse City disappear! There's a thief on the loose, the thief wants to stop Halloween. All of the mice in New Mouse City receive an invitation for a free trip to the Mystery Mouse Theme Park.

Geronimo is a 'fraidy mouse, and his super-sporty friend Bruce Hyena decides he needs to help Geronimo learn to keep calm in extreme situations. Bruce puts Geronimo to the test through scary animals and extreme weather from desert to North Pole.

When my old friend Professor von Volt called to ask for help, I agreed immediately -- even though it meant trekking halfway around the world to Mouse Everest! The trip was long and dangerous. I almost froze my tail off along the way. And then I was kidnapped by a yeti!

It was spring in New Mouse City! I love to celebrate the season with my fellow mice by exchanging chocolate eggs and competing in a confectionary challenge. This year, there was also a special priceless jeweled Mousebergé Egg in town. Then it was stolen... and it was up to me to find it!

The micekings have received a mysterious message in a bottle! Unfortunately, most of it has been damaged by water, but Geronimo can tell it's from the Oofa Oofas, the laziest rodents in the ancient far north. The micekings set sail to Oofadale, in case the Oofa Oofas are in trouble. But on their way, the dragons attack! Fjords and fiddlesticks, what an adventure!

Blossom, Queen of the Fairies, had disappeared, along with three powerful magical objects: The Book of a Thousand Spells, the Crystal Sphere, and the Whispering Wand. If those objects ended up in the wrong hands. 

When you're with Geronimo Stilton, it's always a fabumouse adventure!

Join me and my friends on our first four adventures!
-Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye
-The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid.
-Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House.
-I'm Too Fond of My Fur

I, Geronimo Stilton, must travel through time for the seventh time!

Pirate cats want to start a war on Mouse Island, and Professor von Volt thinks compromise is the only answer.

My friends and I will journey into the past to learn how so many civilizations that came before ours were able to avoid war.

We visit the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, travel to the mythical Atlantis, stop at the mysterious circle of Stonehenge, and peek in on the Mouse Island of the future.  Can we learn the secret to peace before it’s too late?

Geronimo's fifth journey to the Kingdom of Fantasy!

I, Geronimo Stilton, was so excited to find myself in the Kingdom of Fantasy for a seventh time. Blossom, Queen of the Fairies, needed me to find the seven enchanted charms before the Wizard of the Black Pearl could get to them!

Each year on the Night of Dancing Stars, the elfix aliens distribute gifts to all the creatures of the galaxy. But this year, the holiday is fast approaching, and the spacemice discover that the elfix have all disappeared! 

A missing coffin isn’t the only mystery on Geronimo Stilton’s plate.

Moldy mozzarella! In the wake of a pretend (or perhaps real!) heist, a mystery-themed dinner at Creepella Cacklefur’s castle quickly devolves into a mad rush from one hidden clue to the next.

This is punctuated by courses ranging from toad slime and kraken tentacles to mystery giblets on a stick, all dished up by guest chef Boffo Flambé.

There are also encounters with werecanaries and a horde of howling werewolf slugs, not to mention moat slime, cave slime, and (perhaps worst of all) sloth snot sorbet for dessert.

(Readers will sympathize with our hero’s reluctance to partake, a running gag throughout.)

Alert readers will doubtless detect a theme, and Angleberger’s just the one to amplify it with big sequential panels both decked out in loud colors and packed with a rodent cartoon cast that is drawn with manic energy and, often, covered in gooey gloobs. “I had slime for dinner,” Geronimo Stilton laments. “Now slime is having me for dinner!”

Based on an episode published in Italy but not in the U.S. and so new even to series fans on this side of the Atlantic, the latest graphic caper from the mild-mannered journalist/sleuth will slide off the shelves whenever a slightly scary tale or, for that matter, a general grossfest is in order.

A stinky smell is taking over New Mouse City! No mouse can live like this! Geronimo and his best friend Hercule, the private detective, head underground into the sewer world of Mouse Island to investigate. Can they save the city from the stench?

Geronimo is celebrating his birthday! He is out with his Family when he realizes someone has replaced all of his money with counterfeit bills. Geronimo and Hercule set out to find the thieves!
