Geronimo Stilton

Geronimo Stilton is a best-selling children's book series written by Geronimo Stilton. In the series, the title character is a talking mouse who lives in New Mouse City on Mouse Island. A best-selling author, he works as a journalist for the fictional newspaper The Rodent's Gazette. He has a younger sister named Thea Stilton, a cousin named Trap Stilton, and a favorite nephew, nine-year-old Benjamin Stilton. Geronimo is a nervous, mild-mannered mouse who would like nothing better than to live a quiet life, but he keeps getting involved in far-away adventures with Thea, Trap, and Benjamin. The books are written as though they are autobiographical adventure stories. The original publisher is Edizioni Piemme in Milan, Italy. Scholastic, Inc. publishes the English language version.

Piratas de andar por casa
Jeremy Strong
ISBN:8423676900
Los abuelos de Parchete habían sido piratas. También su padre y su madre fueron piratas, así que parecía evidente que también él debía ser pirata. Y ya era mala pata, porque a Parchete no le gustaba nada el mar. En realidad, no le gustaba el agua en general: ni para beber, ni para bañarse, ni para lavar... Pero sobre todo odiaba el agua del mar.
With sales of 4 million, Jeremy Strong is immensely popular with children, particularly boys, who adore his unique brand of silliness. He won the Children's Book Award in 1997 with The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog and his books about Sigurd the Viking have been made into a TV series. He lives in Somerset.
