THE SEWER RAT STINK (GERONIMO STILTON GRAPHIC NOVEL #1) by Tom Angleberger
Hello, Tom Angleberger! Welcome back to Watch. Connect. Read.! I still smile when I think about when you Skyped with my students in 2010 and 2011. Memories!
Tom Angleberger: Hey Mr Schu! It feels like the good old days of book blogging all over again!
Indeed! I cannot wait to talk about The Sewer Rat Stink during upcoming presentations with students. Kids are going to be sooooooooooooooo excited. What do you want everyone to know about it?
Tom Angleberger: This is a genuine Geronimo story which American kids have never seen before.
It’s a wild, wild ride through the sewers of New Mouse City, which are home to a secret civilization of sewer rats!
And I got the chance to DRAW all that slippery, slimy action and turn the novel into a graphic novel.
I’ve wanted to draw comics since forever, but who would have believed I’d get to draw a famous(e) character like Geronimo Stilton?
I’m a long-time fan, so I was able to really turn up the Geronimo-ness to 11. I had a ball!
And then seeing Scholastic turn my black and white drawing into gorgeous color comics was mind-blowing! It actually looks like I know what I’m doing!

I am a big fan of fun facts. What are three of your favorite fun facts about Geronimo Stilton?
*He’s a reporter! Just like me!
*He loses his cool sometimes! Just like me!
*His friends are a bunch of weirdos! Just like mine!
Please finish the following sentence starters:
New Mouse City is great because it can contain anything from any city anywhere in the world. Subway? Sure. Castle? Yep. Underground Sewer City? Of course!
Hercule is a perfect comedy partner for Geronimo. Hercule takes the risk, Geronimo gets the pie in the face. Rinse and repeat!
I hope The Sewer Rat Stink is in every classroom library ready for a kid that’s having a bad day and just needs to escape for a few minutes.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me if Dav Pilkey opened the door for this sort of book. Yes, yes he did. He’s the Leonardo of Laffs! The Jane Austen of Awesome! The Pirandello of Puns! (And a nice guy!)
