The Keepers of the Empire (Geronimo Stilton and the Kingdom of Fantasy #14) (14)

I found this book on Amazon while looking for an illustrated chapter book series for my then 5 year old daughter. My daughter is an advanced reader, 2-3rd grade level, but very visual and needs illustrations to help her understand the characters. This book is amazing for that and much more. The Kingdom of Fantasy series features an ordinary mouse, Geronimo Stilton, who becomes extraordinary when he travels to the Kingdom of Fantasy. One of the many things I love about this series is that Geronimo is a fearful mouse who helps save people in spite of his fears. My daughter has Sensory Processing Disorder and an anxiety disorder. She gets so much from the fact that Geronimo Stilton can power through and be brave even if he’s scared while doing it. Another thing I appreciate, in light of her anxiety disorder, is that there is no violence or scary stuff. There are several “bad guys” but good always wins. There are also “battle” scenes but they are so benign and the villains only say “we’ll meet again.” As a “words matter” person, I truly appreciate that there is also no disrespectful language either. It bugs me so much when books even include the words stupid or dumb because I’ve taught my daughter that we don’t talk like that. These books include none of that language, which I’m grateful for. We are currently reading #11 and we can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

I ordered this new book for my daughter’s gift. I didn’t like a sticker residue on the cover (I ordered internationally, so exchange or return will be a bit challenging). Overall it is a wonderful book like other Geronimo series.
