Professor von Volt had discovered the location of the famous Ruby of Fire. Before I could let out a squeak of protest, my sister Thea had dragged me into race to be the first to find the legendary gem.

Thea heard that there was a secret map hidden beneath the most famous painting, the Monamouse, Together we began to investigate, and soon we discovered secret clues that led us to the most fabumouse secret.

A mysterious one-eyed rat was trying to steal The Rodent's Gazette from under my snout. I had to stop him. My business manager, Shif T Paws, came up with a plan. He arranged for me to appear on a TV quiz show. If I won, the Gazette was safe.

My sister had come up with a new way to torment me. She'd combined my two least favourite things, travel and ghosts. Thea had heard rumors of a haunted pirate treasure buried on a desert island and she dragged me into her treasure hunt.

Learn the loooooong, hilarious story of how Pinky Pick came to be Geronimo Stilton's assistant editor.

Geronimo's sister drags him into an adventure to find the treasure hidden on a faraway island.

There's nothing better than a relaxing vacation at the beach. Instead of a beautiful seaside resort, I found myself in a fleabag hotel that was falling down around my ears

My friend Creepella von Cacklefur called me and ordered me to join her at her family's spooky castle. Now I'm stuck in the gloomiest, eeriest castle I've ever seen.

I was off to Niagara Falls with my nephew's class. It was a beautiful place but, unfortunately, I was surrounded by mischievous young mouselets who were determined to send me over the Falls in a barrel.

Being on a ship in the middle of the sea wasn't my idea of a fabumouse time. And I was beginning to suspect that we weren't the only ones searching for the treasure.

I admit it, I am a 'fraidy mouse. Halloween scares me out of my fur. But, for this Halloween, I was heading off on an adventure in one of my very favorite places, Egypt.

Grandfather William wanted me to research a new story. He asked me to dress up like Santa Claus and let lots of little mouselets sit on my lap.

I climbed on board a camel that would take me across the desert to the Great Cheese Pyramid. There, among mummies and hieroglyphics, I would learn the secret of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient Mouse World.

When I accidentally got signed up for the Mouse Island Marathon, I was so shocked that I lost my squeak. But, my friends and family were determined to help me cross that finish line.

I, Geronimo Stilton, am not a big fan of spooky things. But, when the cheese begins disappearing all around me, I have to do something. I have to find the mysterious cheese thief.

I was lost in the Gobi Desert, looking for a hidden treasure. So far, all I had found were sandstorms, camels, giant dinosaur bones and rat-munching rattlesnakes. I wonder how I get myself into these situations.

My sister, Thea, is the mystery-loving rodent, not me. But, somehow, I found myself going undercover to get to the bottom of a case. Slimy Swiss balls, I hardly knew where to start.

It's the season to be jolly and, holey cheese, was I trying. But, on my way to New York City to meet my family for the holidays, my luggage got switched with cases belonging to another mouse. Now, I had to scurry all over the Big Apple trying to track down that mouse and all my Christmas presents. And I, Geronimo Stilton, am not a big cheese when it comes to getting around the Big Apple.

After being enrolled in the Song Festival, Geronimo Stilton's song, Welcome to New Mouse City, goes to the top of the charts. Geronimo becomes a star but, strangely, very few compact disks are sold after the festival. Geronimo and his detective friend, Hercule Poirat, set out to solve the mystery.

Rat-munching rattlesnakes. I can't believe it. I, Geronimo Stilton, just let my super-sporty friend Bruce Hyena convince me to go on another one of his extreme adventures. You know me, I just can't say no to a friend. This time, we're going to be climbing to the top of the famouse Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Mouldy mozzarella, I'm in no shape for a mountain climb.

Geronimo knows something strange is going on and he and his detective friend, Hercule Poirat, must try to solve the mystery in time to save Halloween.

Geronimo Stilton is not a sportsmouse. But, that didn't stop Grandfather William from dragging him to a golf tournament so that Geronmo could be his caddie. Geronimo bumps into his old friend, Kornelius Von Kickpaw, also known as Special Agent 00K. Someone is plotting to steal the Super Mouse Cup and Geronimo and Kornelius must crack the case.

But, their trip gets off on the wrong paw and the relaxing vacation turns into a nightmare. That is, until they come across a great white whale that needs their help.

I was just minding my business at home when I got a telephone call. It was my uncle Samuel S Stingysnout, inviting the whole Stilton family to creepy, faraway Penny Pincher Castle for a big surprise. I'm not much of a travelling mouse and I hate surprises. But Thea, Trap and Benjamin were going so I couldn't say no. I could tell this was going to be one super-spooky trip.

When Wild Willie showed up at my door and invited me to travel with him to Japan, I jumped at the chance. We were in search of an ancient, legendary samurai scroll that holds the secret to a long-lost fighting technique. The scroll had fallen into the wrong hands, and it was up to me and Wild Willie to track it down and save the day. But first, we would have to fight a group of talented ninjas. Holey cheese -- this would be one adventure I would never forget.

My good friend Hercule Poirat and I were called to investigate mysterious events in the famouse Grand Hotel in New Mouse City. There was a ghost haunting the hotel and scaring guests.

I, Geronimo Stilton, was selected by the mayor to give a special driving demonstration. But, my drivers' license had expired and I had only one week to relearn everything to pass the test. Little did I know that my lessons would introduce me to a talking robot car. It was up to us to stop a thief and make the roads safer for everyone.

One hot summer afternoon, I was trying to write but I just couldn't get inspired. I needed a break. I didn't know that I would soon be in Arizona, hanging from cliffs and white-water rafting. Grandfather Shortpaws had sent me on a hunt for his old friend, the Red Bandit. What a fabumouse adventure.

I, Geronimo Stilton, was finishing up work one evening when I opened a letter from Uncle Stingysnout. He needed to see me immediately. I headed straight to Penny Pincher Castle for what I thought would be a nice visit ... but my uncle put me straight to work. Mouldy mozzarella, what a terrible vacation.

Rancid rat hairs. I'd spent so much money lately that I had none left in the bank. Even worse, when my grandfather found out, he sent me off to Moldy Manor, where miserly Uncle Stingysnout would teach me to be better at saving. How terrible.

Holey cheese, my sister, Thea, is in danger. She had travelled to Easter Island in search of a secret treasure and, now, she needs my help. There is no time to lose. My friends and I hopped on a plane to begin our search, aided by a map and a mysterious riddle.

Sally Ratmousen broke some shocking news: The Rodent's Gazette was out of money and in danger of closing. Then Grandfather William broke even worse news to me: I needed to sell my comfy, cozy house in order to save our paper! How terrible! But could I sell it -- and find a new home -- in time to help?

My family and I were invited to Lisbon in Portugal to retrace the journey of the great explorer Vasco da Gama. He was the first European to reach India by sea and is, apparently, an ancestor of the Stiltons. But, once we got on the boat, I learned that someone was trying to sabotage the voyage.

New Mouse City was in a panic. A strange epidemic had broken out -- mice everywhere were covered in weird blue spots! Mouse Island's most famouse doctor immediately set to work with his team to try to find the cure... but someone was trying to stop him. Could I figure out who before I ended up blue myself?

All across New Mouse City, rodents kept telling me I'd done things but I had no memory of doing them. I soon discovered there was a Geronimo look-alike out there, pretending to be me. He'd even fooled my sister, Thea.

Thea, Trap, and Benjamin asked me to join their quest. No sooner had we set out than we were attacked by a ship of pirate cats. They mousenapped us and threatened to make us their dinner. Now we fear we will not escape with our lives.

Sometimes, a mouse needs a relaxing vacation. But every time I tried to get away, disaster struck. My office flooded, our printing press broke down and all the good trips were booked out. I'm now stuck in a flea-ridden old hotel, sharing a room with Scouts.
