The Mini Mystery books are a compact spin-off from the main Geronimo Stilton series, putting the mouse journalist in the role of detective. Across six short stories published between 2007 and 2018, Geronimo investigates scams, hoaxes, and petty crimes around New Mouse City. Titles like The Super Scam, The Mouse Hoax, and The Cheese Burglar keep the mysteries light and age-appropriate while giving readers a chance to follow clues alongside Geronimo.
The shorter format makes these books good for younger or less confident readers who want a complete story without the length of a full Geronimo Stilton novel. The mystery angle also sets them apart from the travel-adventure focus of the main series, offering a different kind of problem-solving for kids who enjoy whodunits.
