Hey quick warning for all my followers but do not invest in CheeseCoin!!! One of the founders was Trap Stilton and he's a notorious rugpuller!!!!!!
And also, please do not harass Trap's family over this!!! They're not associated with his scams at all!!!! I've heard Geronimo Stilton (nicest guy EVER, LIKE GENUINELY) has gotten some death threats over his cousin's bad behavior and that's not cool!!
bear in mind this is only if i have the motivation and time for it (i'm in animation school)
What would you guys think if I like, made comics/webtoons of the Thea Sisters Mouseford books that never made it to English? And not like, a one-to-one adaptation. See, I don't have access to the Italian books and don't exactly have the financial capacity to collect the eBooks, but what I do have is online summaries and reviews, and the creative ability to make shit up :D
Sooo if the stars align (please don't count on it too much), would you be interested in that? :0 Lemme know via reply or reblog if that's something you'd wanna see
Do you wanna bear witness to just how mentally ill I am for this silly mouse galpal group? Do you wanna see just how many hours I put into researching this franchise?
Well look no further :D

FELLOW GS FAN!!! opinions on the kingdom of fantasy series?
Hello :D
I'll be honest, my official introduction to Geronimo Stilton (barring the Thea Sisters books bc they're technically not about him) was the KoF series. It def holds a special place in my heart lolol
It's one of the best special edition series imo. Like, spacemice is fine ig, idk what the heck heromice is on, and I don't even know what cavemice is??? Kingdom of Fantasy just feels like it retains the original series style the most while still adding in a flair of magic and whimsy.
Anyways looked up the series again to jog my memory and WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY MADE 16 BOOKS
16?!?!?!
ok does anyone know where to find the whole series online asking for a friend-
I will be posting my honest and unfiltered thoughts on each and every one of the Thea Stilton books >:3 (Including the Mouseford books and Special Editions, or at least the ones released in english)
There will be three per part, a part posted every Friday, and this one is Dragon's Code, Mountain of Fire, and Ghost of the Shipwreck :D
Dragon's Code:
6/10, ah yes, the titular first book of the series. Where we first meet the girls, their mentor, and how they got their name. You’re probably wondering why it’s ranked so low. Well, you know how the first episode of a series is always so different from the others, and it's often people’s least favorite? This is because of “growing pains” so to speak. The series was finding its tone, its footing, its characterization, so it's only natural it's gonna be a cut below the others. And also because it was released in the early 2000s, it was kinda stereotypical in its portrayal of Violet.
The book is from Thea’s perspective, and it starts with her meeting the girls. From there, we see the girls’…rough interactions, and then they’re faced with their very first mystery. It starts with a strange mouse, Hans Ratson. Supposedly, another new student. He’s been acting suspiciously ever since Thea and the girls met him. Then the Whale Family, who work at Mouseford, keep saying cryptic things about what happens if you “stick your snout where it doesn’t belong.” Then after random things start going missing, the girls begin to investigate. They find a secret room, with codes, and most importantly, a dragon statue. After solving the puzzle and the mystery of why all those random items disappeared, they find a Viking ship down in a cave! And down there as well, hanging down from his ankle via a length of rope, is Hans Ratson, or more accurately, Bartholomew Sparkle, a journalism teacher, and one of Mouseford’s best graduates, who disguised himself to investigate that very mystery the girls were.
Like I said before, this book isn’t really the best, since the codes felt kind of overly convoluted, and the girls’ personalities are…not the best. The character designs and illustrations are also notably rougher than the others.
All in all, despite not being the best book in the series, you should still read it. It’s not a bad book at all. And you get to see how it all started.
Mountain of Fire:
6/10, same reason as the first one. The girls head to Australia to Nicky’s ranch, where her sheep have fallen ill. Who is behind it, none other than the ranch’s rival, Mortimer MacCardigan, the usual jealous, petty, money-grubbing villain from the older books. He poisoned the grass that the sheep eat, and now Nicky and the girls have to find a way to heal the sheep before they die.
This book is definitely not bad, first off the villain has a lot of personality, and is quite memorable, if just for how much of a petty bitch he is. Like damn, imagine being a grown ass man beefing with a college kid. I also liked the conflict with Mortimer, his son, and Nicky, I thought it was interesting. How the hell did Mortimer have a kid?? Who knows. The conflict just didn’t catch my eye as much as the other ones, but that's not an inherent issue with the book. The representation was a little…iffy, I have to say, but I’m not that qualified to talk about that, so I’m just gonna leave it at that. Also, this book is from 2006, so that should explain a few things.
I would still read it though, don’t let my neutrality on this book sway you. It’s still pretty decent, at least compared to the shit they publish now. COUGH COUGH IRRELEWOOD HOAX COUGH COUGH.
Ghost of the Shipwreck:
-Part 1:
7/10, a short but fun read! We follow the Thea Sisters as they prepare for the hatching of sea turtle eggs, but Professor van Kraken mysteriously disappears. Once they get into his lab, they hear that he’s been sending a Morse code. After rescuing him from Windy Grotto, they find out that there are treasure looters on the loose after the sunken treasure nearby. After getting van Kraken back on the surface and almost crashing the submarine, the girls are attacked by strangers in black diving suits, likely the ones looking for the treasure. And just when they think they’re saved, it turns out that the new ferryman Captain Coral is their boss! They get captured, but with the efforts of van Kraken, they’re rescued and the treasure is recovered.
Although it only accounts for half of the book’s content, this is a good story. The villain is memorable and is actually competent, the action scenes have that thrill that keeps you interested, and not to mention Violet being an absolute girlfailure, trying to deal with her crush on Professor van Kraken. My only gripe is that it was far too short and that the second part should have been its own book.
-Part 2:
7/10, also a good read! The girls are invited by Violet’s parents to Beijing to see an opera her father is conducting. When they get there, they meet Xiao, Violet’s childhood friend, and he shows them to their suite (did I mention that Violet’s parents are bougie?) and Violet whisks them all around Beijing. They eventually end up at a market, and they each get a differently colored stone to represent them. They also find a beautiful lacquer box to keep them in, however, as soon as they buy it, someone is already trying to get them to sell it. They refused, and from then on, their trip went off the rails. They find out the lacquer box is the key to a treasure, and that’s why Madame Hu, the pushy woman who tried to buy the box, wanted it so badly.
I also think this was a fun story! Although, as I said before, this definitely needed to be its own book instead of being shoehorned into one book with a completely different story. The highlight of the book is definitely Madame Hu. With a striking design, intimidating demeanor, and underhanded tactics, she’s one of the best villains to come out of this series. (I might just be biased because she’s hot.) In general, the mystery is interesting, especially Violet’s mysterious, almost prophetic dream that just– never gets explained.
All in all, definitely read this book! Well– Read both stories in this book that is.
