review:
'Geronimo Stilton #18: "First to the Last Place on Earth"' by Geronimo Stilton with art by Ryan Jampole is my introduction to the world of Geronimo Stilton, but I had no problem getting involved in the characters or the story.

The story starts on Mouse Island, an island inhabited by mice. Geronimo is a reporter trying to report on the game, a subject he knows little about. He meets up with the rest of his team there: Trap, Trappy, Benjamin and Thea. They are about to be sent off on an adventure in 1910 to try and defeat the Pirate Cats. The Pirate Cats want to disrupt a race to the South Pole, and Geronimo is being sent to try to help Roald Amundsen to get to the South Pole. The Cats are trying to help Amundsen's rival, Robert Scott Falcon. They have to convince Amundsen to let them join the explanation, and they have to defeat the Pirate Cats along the way.

It's a perfect young reader series. If the others in the series are like this, it would also be a fun way to learn about history. There are funny things that happen as well as adventurous types of things. I enjoyed reading it. It reminded me of the adventure comics I used to read, like Uncle Scrooge.

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.
