     The book is part of the Geronimo Stilton series wherein it revolves around the vast adventures of journalist and editor Geronimo Stilton who runs the fictional Mouse Island's newspaper called 'The Rodent Gazette'. Geronimo Stilton, who is the main character, actively seeks new discoveries along with his sister Thea Stilton, to serve as content for their newspaper. Joining him is his cousin Trap Stilton and his favorite little nephew Benjamin Stilton.

     The journey starts as Geronimo's cousin, Trap, barges over to his house to tell Geronimo about the secret of Mousardo da Munchie's painting the Mona Mousa. They met Thea's boyfriend Frick Tapioca at the mouseum where he revealed 11 different locations behind the painting and each location contains a letter forming a word to solve the mystery. Eventually, they were able to gather all of the different letters and formed a word. The squad went to the spot needed and began to look for clues. As they were about to give up, Trap climbed to the top of a statue and began to shout the word as the ground went upside down revealing the secret. A labyrinth hidden for centuries appeared. In the end, They were awarded for their achievement at the mouseum.

     The book allowed me to realize a lot of things. Aside from it being a book meant for children to read, adults can realize different aspects especially personal growth and development. First, passion is what really drives you to the things you really want to accomplish. Like Geronimo, a well-accomplished journalist himself would not have reached his goals without his drive to endlessly seek new content for his newspaper. It is written and described in the series how Geronimo's passion would lead him to new discoveries and pushes him to never give up as it is his dream to become an excellent journalist. He does not like to settle not because he is not content with what he has but he continues to seek what lacks in him and strives to become better. Second, the book and the series tackle the importance of family. Thea, Trap, and Benjamin were always there to support their relative in order to achieve his dream and I think that with this book, it actually teaches children to be more appreciative especially with their family. Families are the people we have since rock bottom and will never let go until the very end. Third, the book and the series teach its readers to have camaraderie and teamwork. It is proven how many things can be accomplished if we divide and conquer rather than doing it in solidarity. Overall, the book tackles many positive influences that I hope the readers will realize and hopefully adapt to their mentality. 

     In conclusion, the book has an interesting storyline. It has a proper flow and the plot is definitely unique. I highly recommend others to not only read a book but if possible, read the entire series as not only is it for entertainment but actually uphold proper ideals that will hopefully engage the youth to be good citizens in the family as well as in the community.
