Product Description
I admit it. I'm not much of a muscle mouse. So when I accidentally got signed up for the Mouse Island Marathon, I was so shocked that I lost my squeak! Me, run a marathon? But my friends and family were determined to help me cross that finish line. Holey cheese, I was never going to make it! --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

GERONIMO STILTON was born in New Mouse City, Mouse Island. He is Rattus Emeritus of Mousomorphic Literature and Neo-Ratonic Comparative Philosophy. In his spare time, Mr. Stilton collects antique cheese rinds and plays golf. But what he most enjoys is telling stories to his nephew, Benjamin. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest Geronimo Stilton book ever!, August 8, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Mouse Island Marathon (Geronimo Stilton, No. 30) (Mass Market Paperback)

The story was sooo funny that I almost broke my funnybone! It all starts when Champ signs up Geronimo Stilton for the marathon and wakes him up every morning to practice. He even dumped a vase of cold water on him! Geronimo also got hit in the ball at soccer 25 times! During the marathon, Geronimo ran the marathon, nabbed a theif, got chased by flies and mosquitos, saved a rodent from an earthquake, helped find a rodent's watch, saved a drowning rodent, and win the marathon all in one day! At the end of the story, Champ signs up Geronimo for another marathon at the Rattytrap Jungle! The book also have some excersise tips to become a sportsmouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Great Adventure Book, June 8, 2009

By	Carol Dulac "msdu" (Budapest, Hungary) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Mouse Island Marathon (Geronimo Stilton, No. 30) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was in the library and I was finding a book for me to read. So I looked at the bottom of the shelf and I found "Geronimo Stilton Mouse Island Marathon".

When I read the title I thought, "This will not be a good book." But, when I looked at the pictures it looked so good and it was a fiction book.

The main characters are Geronimo Stilton, Thea, Trap and the nephew Benjamin. In the story Geronimo Stilton was going to run in a marathon and he was scared to run because he didn't want to be last. But he raced.

Do you know why I liked it: Because it is an adventure book. If you like to read adventure books you should read this book. -by Kosuke (a student in msdu's class)
