Thea Stilton and the Journey to the Lion's Den: A Geronimo Stilton Adventure
Seventeenth in the series about mild-mannered journalist mouse Geronimo’s younger sister, Journey to the Lion’s Den chronicles the exploits of five of Thea’s students—collectively known as the Thea Sisters—as they travel to Kenya for a photo assignment.  Things get complicated, though, when the rodents become embroiled in the disappearance of a lion cub named Mosi.  Filled with informational asides, colorful fonts, a high picture-to-prose ratio, and funny, fast-paced mystery and adventure, this will have great appeal for any young readers who haven’t already jumped aboard the furiously spinning Geronimo Stilton mouse wheel. Grades 1-4. --Jesse Karp
