Trap and Geronimo team up in an attempt to win a race to Boulder Bay and back, a race that supplies the village cheesemaker with rare hot lava peppers and comes with a large cash prize. Book #10
Quick Summary
Trap and Geronimo are back for a zany race to Boulder Bay and back, and the prize isn't just bragging rights it's the cash and the rare hot lava peppers the village cheesemaker needs to keep his famous cheese from going bland. The duo hops into a wacky, dinosaur-shaped vehicle (the "Autosaurus") that barks, sputters, and rattles as they try to outrun rivals, dodge comical obstacles, and keep their friendship from falling apart when the pressure mounts. The story is packed with Stilton's signature puns, quick-fire dialogue, and a sense of urgency that keeps even reluctant readers turning pages, making it a great choice for kids who love humor, fast-paced adventures, and a dash of friendly competition. While there are a few tense moments like a narrow escape from a collapsing bridge they're all in good fun, and the message about teamwork and perseverance slips in without being preachy. If your child enjoys goofy, fast-read series like "The Bad Guys" or "Dog Man," this one hits the same sweet spot of silly illustrations, snappy pacing, and low-stakes drama.
