This is one of my favorite Geronimo Stilton books because of the history part -- the Rosetta Stone is a wonderful thing to teach kids about! The time travel aspect is fun, of course, and Geronimo is his usual silly self and gets into lots of adventures.

Geronimo Stilton #19: "Lost in Translation" by Geronimo Stilton finds the mice travelling in time to stop the pirate cats. These are fun adventures with a bit of history thrown in. The history this time was the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in Egypt during Napoleon's campaign in 1798. The pirate cats have their own agenda for what to do with it. It may alter the world that Geronimo and his friends know.

This is a cute time-travel story of a Mouse, Geronimo Stilton, who is also the editor of the Roden's Gazzette. This is the 19Th in the series, and apparently he has gone on a lot of adventures, but this particular one was to the time of the Neopolonic Wars, when the French were in Egypt, uncovering artifacts to take home with them, such as the Rosetta Stone.

I like how history is taught in this series. Every so often there is a blurb about how important the Rosetta Stone is and was, and what the French were doing when they are in Egypt. 

I received this ARC from Papercutz via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The last two Geronimo Stilton books have reinvigorated my children's desire to read this graphic novels. Stilton certainly has some crazy adventures under the guise of reporting and Lost in Translation was no different. The Stilton family hours back and forth in time attempting to stop the rat thieves. There is never a full moment as they figure out exactly what they need to do and where and when they need to do it. Entertaining as always, my kids love Geronimo Stilton.

'Geronimo Stilton #19: Lost in Translation' finds the mice travelling in time to stop the pirate cats. These are fun adventures with a bit of history thrown in.

The history this time was the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in Egypt during Napoleon's campaign in 1798. The pirate cats have their own agenda for what to do with it. It may alter the world that Geronimo and his friends know. Will they be able to foil the scheme in time (pun intended)?

I've read a few of these. They fall into the category of things I would have liked to read when I was about 8. The history is interesting, but not to the point where it feels like school. The art is passable for what is needed, but I sometimes have trouble telling the mice from the cats.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I love the Geronimo Stilton books. The stories keep kids entertained and excited about reading! I read this story with my 4 yr old and 7 yr old. I love that they were both intrigued by the story! The colorful illustrations kept my 4 yr old interested in the story throughout our reading. I would definitely recommend these books to others!

4 stars.

This is my first time reading a book from this series but I have been interested in it for some time now and am so glad I got given this to read. Its a really good little adventure story mixed with a touch of sci-fi, time travelling. The characters, expecually the main character, Geronimo Stilton, are likeable and will appeal to most people. The story flowed really well, which makes this a fun read. I know this is a long series but I can see why its enjoyed by so many. Id definitely recommend for kids of all ages (and adults too).

I first heard about the adventures and discoveries of Geronimo Stilton when my younger cousin tried to explain this new book series that he liked. He explained that there were a lot of mice and there were bad guy-cats and adventure. What he didn't explain was that throughout the adventures the stories weave information about real facts and experiences pulled from history--maybe because he was just learning it while actually enjoying what he was reading.

When I saw that a new book was coming out from the series I decided that I needed to experience it first hand and I am glad that I did. "Lost in Translation" was fast paced, fun and informative about how the Rosetta Stone was found and what made it important.

This is a cute enough time-travel story of a Mouse, Geronimo Stilton, who is also the editor of the Roden's Gazzette. This is the 19Th in the series, and apparently he has gone on a lot of adventures, but this particular one was to the time of the Neopolonic Wars, when the French were in Egypt, uncovering artifacts to take home with them, such as the Rosetta Stone.

This is a cute way to teach about history. Every so often there is a blurb about how important the Rosetta Stone is and was, and what the French were doing when they are in Egypt. Beyond that it is a story of cats vs. mice, which apparently all the books are about.

This was nicely done, good information, but since I didn't have the backstory of Geronimo, and know the characters, I felt a bit like his grandfather who kept asking what was going on.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

The adventures of Geronimo Stilton in this comic series is quite interesting. I may be too old to read this kind of comics but what's important is that it entertain me not only because of the awesome plot, but because of the fascinating trivia about the Rosetta Stone. If I have a child, I would certainly purchase some issues of this comic series because they will learn something from reading this.
