This is a wonderful book to get young kids started on reading mysteries and thrillers. There is a lot included in this book from missing persons to mobsters, but it is handled in such a way that it will not overwhelm a young reader. The characters are well written and fun to read about, and the graphics are colorful and easy to read and follow. This is a great addition to your library for young and old alike. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to review this book.

Who doesn't love a Geronimo Stilton book? Only a person who isn't a fan of puns, I suppose!

I LOVE a good pun, so I'm clearly a fan! This new graphic novel element only adds to the fun. The story line was clear and full of good humor and one liners. The graphics were colorful and eye catching, but not too busy. I really, really liked this book, and so did my son. We had a great time reading this one together. Highly recommend!

I love how this series is evolving to reach more readers. Another great take on Geronimo Stilton with this graphic novel line.

Geronimo Stilton is at it again. The story is tightly written with a nice misdirection for the mystery part of the plot. The art work is clear and bright and the characters are well-defined. As expected, there are a lot of mouse and cheese puns. The story is on the short side, but this will appeal to fans of the series and new readers.

Kids who love mystery, adventure, and/or graphic novels will love Geronimo Stilton Reporter #5. The illustrations are delightful and engaging. Readers will love seeing how Geronimo and his rodent friends solve the case of missing reporter Sally Ratmousen.. The surprise ending is one that kids will love. I would recommend this book for grades 2-5, but readers of all ages would enjoy it.

I give this a 4/5 stars. I thought it was a cute short story. I enjoyed how Geronimo’s family was there for him. I think fans of Geronimo Stilton will definitely enjoy this and those in middle school too.

Geronimo Stilton is always a good read. It's not different with this new adventure that children will certainly enjoy. This time Geronimo has to solve the mystery of a kidnapping.

The Illustrations are as much fun as the story.

Yet another great adventure for the rat detective Geronimo Stilton. Things invariably take a turn for the worse in most of his investigations, but somehow Geronimo always manages to turn the tables; on this occasion he really does it in style. It is a truly great series for newly confident readers.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of Geronimo Stilton Reporter #5: Barry the Moustache in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I've read a lot of Geronimo Stilton books over the years, especially with my students in class and I can say that it is always a favourite of both myself and the kids. The world is made of cheese so the whole book of settings and characters is full of cheese-themed fun. Geronimo Stilton #5 is much the same and has an exciting mystery kidnapping to add to the intrigue. I was trying to guess ahead of time who might be responsible and I think even though I was along the right track but not quite correct, I know kids would have a fantastic time trying to make work out the culprit. Teachers would also love this book as a teaching resource to help with lessons in red herrings, writing, reading, educated guesses and more.

The illustrations were great, as per usual, the side characters like Geronimo's cousin, nephew and sister were a lot of fun, and the plot was exciting as well. All of this making for a book that kept me guessing and was something I would buy for my classroom, as well as future kids of my own. If you have children who like fun graphic novels with a touch of mystery and humour, then this series is for them.

ARC Copy...just like the other "adapted from the cartoon series" comics...decent adaption and translation of the episode.

I remember reading these books as a child and thoroughly enjoying reading them and I still think they live up to being an entertaining read. The innocent humour makes it still amusing to see how the mystery in the story is solved, and although the numerous cheese jokes did get repetitive after a short while, it is still something I would recommend for children to read. It both introduces them to the literary form of graphic novels, while giving them an entertaining for similar in essence to an episode of a show like scooby doo to keep them entertained. The simple artwork is appropriate for the genre and the book as a whole was an enjoyable experience.

Another fantastic adventure with Geronimo! Always an enjoyable and adventurous read in this series about the most famous mouse reporter. My 2nd grader loves reading these books and finds them highly entertaining. This one was a great addition!

I loved the Geronimo Stilton books as a kid. I was so obsessed that I tried to write my own books with cool fonts and colors like them. These new graphic novels are no less entertaining. Same characters, but more modern than the ones I read when I was younger. I thought it was wonderfully written with a generous amount of cheese jokes! The art design was just as beautiful as I remember. The characters are amazing. The story was clever and funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
