Geronimo Stilton: respected journalist, family mouse … well-seasoned traveller? No thank you! But when Geronimo’s sister Thea finds a mysterious map of a secret treasure on a faraway island, Geronimo just can’t say no.

Before long, Geronimo and his family are on the high seas, getting into enormouse trouble!

Also available as a ten book set featuring other popular titles from the Geronimo Stilton series such as The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, Fangs and Feasts in Transratania, Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House and A Fabumouse Holiday for Geronimo.

The series is perfect for 5 to 8 year old's both avid and reluctant readers due to its expressive typeset, fun illustrations and humorous stories.

My Thoughts:
Earlier this year, I read a Geronimo Stilton book. Unfortunately, I didn't like it. It was disappointing because that used to be one of my favorite book series when I was a kid. I decided not to give up on the series though. I wanted to try one more Geronimo Stilton book, Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye. I'm glad I did. It had everything I loved about the series when I was younger.

Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye took me back to my childhood. It brought back a lot of feelings of nostalgia. It had everything I remembered that made a Geronimo Stilton book great. It had a lot of the witty sarcasm and puns that I remembered. A lot of the cheese puns made me laugh. It was also action-packed. While it didn't keep me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next, I'm sure it would have if I was younger. The only complaints I have is that I forgot how annoying Trap can be. He's definitely my least favorite character. I also found the book to be predictable, but that could be because I'm not the intended audience.

I'm so glad that I decided to give this series another chance. It makes me happy that I can read it with my nephews and nieces, and inspire a love of reading in them similar to what I had as a kid. I'm not sure that I will go out of my way to pick up these books because as I previously said, they are definitely out of my age range. However, if I do come across one, I will pick it up and read it with my nephews and nieces. Hopefully they will pass it on to their friends, and Inspire a new generation to love Geronimo Stilton.

I give Geronimo Stilton: Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye: 4/5.

My nine year son enjoyed reading this. He read this twice. He likes the pictures and the layout of the words but he didn’t like Thea.

Love this -- another great story from Geronimo Stilton. We love reading about his adventures. The stories are fun and the books are well formatting making for a perfectly quick read. Besides the characters being a wonderful the story is so great we don't want to stop reading and look forward the next adventure.

Kid says it's not the best Geronimo Stilton out there, but he's a long time fan of the series

A big thank you to NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a fun, exciting children's book. Nice story and good graphics. I date it a 4. Great bedtime story.

I received this book for review through NetGalley. This is the first title in the Geronimo Stilton series featuring the eponymous mouse (I could hardly call him a “hero”, but he is one of sorts) and characters now familiar from the book I read earlier, Geronimo’s sister Thea, their slightly annoying cousin Trap, and nephew Benjamin. In this one, the somewhat cowardly Geronimo is taken out to lunch by his sister Thea who informs him that she has found a map to a treasure island and intends to go find it, and expects that he Geronimo will accompany her. She also decides that cousin Trap will join them since he knows all about sailing. So off they go on a rather long sea voyage to the island where the treasure lies. But the journey isn’t the only adventure, once there, they must interpret the map and find the treasure. Geronimo isn’t the most adventurous of mice but in this one, he did quite well, once he got there.

This was another quick (just took half an hour or a little more) and enjoyable read. As far as the adventure itself goes, this one definitely had much more substance than the previous book I read, in which they seemed to be in-and-out of their destination in pretty much the blink of an eye. I thought the end pretty good fun too, with a nice surprise element that I wasn’t expecting. This one, as the other book I read, was replete with rat/mouse and cheese references which add a cute touch to the whole book, but still it felt as though it went a tad overboard with these but not so much as to be annoying. I enjoyed the illustrations and maps, and also in places how the book plays around with the font to make it more effective. I’ve been reading some criticism of these books, as being not worth the hype, etc., and it not being clear why children are crazy about them to the extent that they are. While I couldn’t really answer the second question, I thought (yes, I’ve only read two so far) while they aren’t books that I absolutely adored or which floored me, they are creative, light, fun, and entertaining reads, so they have value as that. Good fun.

Loved it!
The witty language is for parents as well as for bigger kids, while the little cartoony slips kept even my three year old glued to the story.

Would definitely recommend this to all parents.

This is a great book for children and adults alike. It describes a great adventure and its well written. Enjoyed it immensley

Geronimo, Thea, and Trap always make kids (and me) laugh with their antics. In this adventure, we love the name of Trap's thrift ship, "Cheap Junk for Less," and the addition of Geronimo's nephew Benjamin. It was nice that Trap was able to be a hero in this book, in addition to underscoring the importance of spelling..... I especially like that Thea is braver than all the guys!
