Summary Of The Book

The main character in the series is Geronimo Stilton, a talking mouse who lives in New Mouse City on Mouse Island. He is the publisher of The Rodent's Gazette, Mouse Island's most famous newspaper. The story begins when he decides to visit his aunt Sweetfur who is on vacation in the Pleasant Paw Hills. On his way to her house, Geronimo gets lost in a dark scary forest and seeks shelter in a run-down castle which appears to be completely empty but to his dismay, is haunted by cats.
