What is “Out of Time” about?
“Out of Time” follows Geronimo Stilton on another time-travelling mission, where he journeys through different periods of history to set right events that have been thrown into chaos. As always, Geronimo is reluctant and a little scaredy-mouse about the whole adventure, but with the help of his family and friends he finds himself hopping through eras, meeting historical figures, and racing against the clock.
The magic of these Stilton time-travel stories is how they blend excitement with gentle learning. Each stop in history introduces young readers to real periods, places, and inventions, all wrapped inside a light, funny plot. Children absorb bits of world history without it ever feeling like a lesson.
What sets the book apart is its lively presentation. The pages are packed with colourful illustrations, playful fonts, and word art that make certain phrases jump out. This visual style keeps young readers engaged and turning pages, which is exactly why the series works so well for children who usually find reading a chore.

Who is Geronimo Stilton?
Geronimo Stilton is the fictional mouse narrator and author of the internationally best-selling Geronimo Stilton book series, created by Italian writer Elisabetta Dami. In the stories, Geronimo is the editor of a newspaper called The Rodent’s Gazette on Mouse Island, and he narrates his own comical adventures in the first person.
The series began in Italy in 2000 and has since become a global phenomenon, translated into dozens of languages and selling well over 100 million copies worldwide. Its success comes from a simple formula: relatable, slightly cowardly heroes, fast-moving plots, plenty of humour, and a bright, illustrated format that makes reading feel like fun rather than work.
Elisabetta Dami, the real author behind the mouse, was inspired to write for children she visited in hospitals, wanting to give them stories full of hope and adventure. Over the years the franchise has expanded into spin-offs like Thea Stilton, graphic novels, and educational series.
