01-THEY SAY I'M A SCAREDY MOUSE

Geronimo Stilton THE WILD, WILD WEST

THEY SAY I'M A SCAREDY MOUSE Do you know me? My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton. I am the editor of the most POPULAR paper in New Mouse City. It's called The Rodent's Gazette. Most mice would agree, I'm a pretty brainy rodent. And I absolutely LOVE to read.

After a hard day at the office, I like to relax in my cozy mouse hole. I slip into my fluffy cat-fur slippers. Then I settle down with a good book in front of the fireplace. I make myself a nice cup of hot cheddar tea. Yum! And sometimes I put on some soft music. Of course, some rodents might say I am a little on the boring side. Like my sister Thea and my cousin Trap. They make fun of

me because I DON'T like to travel. They say I'm a SCAREDY MOUSE. You see, I am not the adventurous type. But that is because... ...I GET SEASICK ... Heights make me dizzy ...and I'm a worrywart Now, you are probably wondering what I am doing in this adventure. It takes place in the wild, WILD WEST. Out West you will find sun- scorched deserts, raging bulls, and even poisonous snakes. Why would I, Geronimo "Scaredy Mouse" Stilton, travel to a place like that? Read this book and you'll understand....
