The Volcano of Fire (Geronimo Stilton and the Kingdom of Fantasy #5)

Fun read

This book was simply cheesetastic! Sorry. Sorry about that. Anyway, I'm a human being too(don't worry, I'm not an alien) so I'll give you a summary. Geronimo receives a strange letter telling him to go to the top of a mountain. He goes with his nephew Benjamin. He soon finds himself in the kingdom of fantasy. His friend Thunderhorn asks him to go to the...um...Explanatorium? He must ask the Chancellor to tell him why there have been frequent earthquakes in the kingdom of the elves. When he does not succeed he reads a huge pile of talking books. One book follows him. Its name is Volume One, or Vol. Vol tells Geronimo that the previously dormant volcano of fire is now erupting,causing the earthquakes. Thunderhorn's sister Emerald also accompanies them. They learn that to stop the volcano from erupting they must extinguish the flame inside it. An evil ship captain named Coldheart helps them. Coldheart tells them that he is actually a kind pirate. They also learn that they have to save Em and their friend Sterling's friend...SPROUTNESS. Sproutness leaves them a magic medallion that grants 7 wishes. Well, that's all I'll spoil for now...Bye!

My 5 year old loves this series and has for the past year and a half. He has had my husband or myself read and re-read this series over and over. He really gets into the characters and loves everything about the books from the maps and great illustrations to the descriptions and introductions of the characters to the way the writing is not just typical one font writing but stylized, colored, and emotive of what the words are saying. My son actually seems to consider Geronimo an imaginary friend and we've made cheesey-full cake and cheese niblets and shared it with Geronimo! This particular series of Geronimo Stilton, "The Kingdom of Fantasy" 1- 5 is extremely creative and full of classic fantasy lore: dragons, witches, gnomes, trolls, giants, elves, fairies, spells, ancient cultures, sprites, sea monsters, love, friends, classic life lessons and Geronimo as the reluctant hero, etc. etc. It's great! When he is a bit older I think these books will be good to assign him to read on his own. I think it's a good way to learn context clues, considering the text puts emotion/feeling into the words via differing fonts and colors.

My son loves these lectures.

The kids love these books, but I find them extremely difficult to read. The editing is not fantastic and the random large, small, colored, fuzzy, shiny, swirly, BOLDED...etc. words are very distracting. No joke, the pages sometimes look ridiculous. I understand what they were going for, but there are times I want to slap the book for making me read something that looked like a Photoshop font class. The stories are fine though, and we own the whole series. Like I said, kids really enjoy them.

My son is 9 years old and has been reading the Geronimo Stilton books for over a year.They are a brilliant way for young readers to develop a love of reading and nurture their imaginations. The pictures are so engaging and my son is constantly running in to show me and tell me whats happening. My son went from being a VERY reluctant reader to a boy who devours books faster than I can keep up. He now reads more advanced chapter books but still goes back to these over and over.

Trying to keep a 10 year old off the tablet and opening a book is a tough fight. Since we found this series of books, he will actually go to his room and read. They are well written and interesting.

We found the Geronimo Stilton books on vacation at a thrift store. What a wonderful find! My 9 year old has since read the whole Kingdom of Fantasy Series and moved on to all the other Stilton books he can find in our school and public library. The way they are written and illustrated makes them really fun to read.

Very good book my grandson like this book

My son can't get enough for these stories.

Resta letteralmente incollato al libro finché non lo ha finito!

Succès pour ma petite fille bilingue . Mêmes commentaire que pour les livres de la même série . A conseiller si besoin était.

My girl love the book
