"Spooky witch hitch" Once upon a moonlit night, in a quiet and remote village surrounded by mist-covered forests, the townspeople found themselves in the midst of a mysterious and spine-chilling event. It all started when a group of children ventured into the depths of the woods, despite being warned to stay away. As they wandered deeper into the forest, the air became thick with an eerie silence, causing the children to shiver with both fear and excitement. The moon, glowing faintly behind a thick shield of ominous clouds, cast eerie shadows across their path. Suddenly, a rustling noise broke the silence, sending the children into a frenzy of fright. Their eyes darted in every direction, searching for the source of the disturbance.

Their eyes darted in every direction, searching for the source of the disturbance. And then, from the corner of their eyes, they saw her - a figure cloaked in black, her silhouette merging with the darkness of the night. It was a witch - with a wicked grin on her face, she beckoned them closer.

I first came to know of Geronimo Stilton only when a book from the series was gifted to La Ni ñ a . It was the first book that she began to read on her own. Prior to that, she enjoyed reading but preferred to be read to, claiming that it left her free to exercise her imagination.
It was the formatting of this series, complete with words in different colours and fonts, text in various sizes, and numerous small illustrations scattered throughout the pages, intermingled with the text, that invited her to read for herself. She hasn’t stopped reading since.
Geronimo Stilton is the editor of The Rodent’s Gazette, a popular newspaper on Mouse Island. When his grandfather, William Shortpaws, a notorious cheapskate and the founder of the newspaper, decides to cut back on the expenses, Geronimo discovers that he is in for a most terrible time.
Grandfather William fires all the employees and orders Geronimo to do all the work, including writing, printing, and being general errand boy. Geronimo’s sister Thea is named the Page Three correspondent, while his cousin, Trap, who cannot hold a job, is appointed Grandfather’s personal cook. Geronimo’s nine-year-old nephew, Benjamin, is named Grandfather’s personal assistant.
The elderly mouse sends Geronimo off to Egypt to write a special report on the pyramids. But the flight and other arrangements that have been made are so cheap and dubious that the young hero wonders if he will ever return alive.
Instead of a seat belt, there is a piece of string. The windows are broken and passengers are urged to buy overpriced parachutes and lifebuoys. To make matters worse, when he wants to visit the washroom, he is given a bedpan, and the plane runs out of fuel in mid-flight.
Once he lands in Egypt, he discovers that Prof Alrat Spitfur has invented a new way to create energy using camel dung. The professor invites Geronimo to visit the pyramid of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Cheops.
Geronimo will be kicked at and spat on before this adventure is over.La Ni ñ a loved the book. She loves to draw and paint and was entranced by the colourful illustrations.
The characters have such evocative names as Sammy Slickpaw, Alrat Spitfur, ‘Crash’ Ratjack, Ted Simplesnout, Miss Sally Skinnyfur, Daniel E Deadfur etc, all guaranteed to amuse kids. The locations in the book are Mouse Everest, the Great Mousewood Forest.

Along the way, young kids get a not-quite-authentic (since the pharaohs are all mice) but still thoroughly entertaining lecture on Egyptian culture.

The children hesitated, unsure of whether to run or obey her summons. But their curiosity overwhelmed their fear, and slowly, hesitantly, they approached the mysterious witch. With a voice that seemed to come from the very depths of the earth, the witch spoke. Her words were laden with magic and mystery, as she warned the children of the ancient curse that bound her to this forsaken forest. She explained that she needed their help to break the spell that trapped her, and in return, she would grant them a single wish. Fear turned to courage, as the children realized that they held the power to free the witch and gain their deepest desires. Without hesitation, they agreed to aid her in the witch's sinister quest. Together, they embarked on a treacherous journey, facing numerous obstacles and riddles along the way. The forest seemed alive - trees whispered ancient secrets in the wind, and strange creatures lurked in the shadows. But the children persisted, fueled by their determination to release the witch from her dark torment. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they reached the heart of the forest, where an ancient oak tree stood tall and imposing. The witch instructed the children to gather mystical ingredients - moonstone powder, enchanted water, and a lock of hair from the purest soul - to concoct a potion powerful enough to break the curse. Following the witch's precise instructions, the children combined the ingredients with trembling hands, hoping that their efforts would succeed. As the potion bubbled and frothed in a cauldron perched upon a creaky wooden table, a burst of blinding light engulfed the clearing. When the light subsided, the witch stood before them, no longer cloaked in darkness but radiating an aura of warmth and gratitude. Her eyes sparkled with kindness as she thanked the children for their bravery and sacrifices. And true to her word, she granted each of them their single wish. The children's hearts filled with joy as their deepest desires came true, completely transforming their lives. With newfound appreciation for the magical realms hidden within the world, they bid the witch farewell and returned to their village, forever changed by their encounter. And so, the tale of the spooky witch hitch became a legend passed down through generations, a reminder that sometimes, it takes bravery and a touch of magic to change our destinies..
