Book of the Month
The Thirteen Ghosts by Geronimo Stilton
This is the first book of the new Geronimo Stilton spin off series, Creepella Von Cacklefur. There's a new mouse in town, the mysterious Creepella Von Cacklefur. A special effects designer and creepy movie director, she decides to venture into the world of journalism. In preparation for her spooky story for The Shivery News, Creepella takes her niece, Shivereen, to Squeakspeare Mansion. Their mission: to interview real ghosts. They meet Billy Squeakspeare, the writer who inherited the mansion. Oh boy! Will the ghosts they encounter be friendly, or menacing?
