Chapter 1
At this point in the story, what have you learned about Geronimo Stilton and the mystery connected to the metrò?
-
Chapter 2
Which details make the metrò setting feel interesting, spooky, or exciting? Explain how those details affect the mood.
Example answer: The metrò feels spooky because it is underground and full of noises, shadows, and movement. I can imagine how a normal place could seem scary if people think there is a ghost there. Those details make the mood tense, but also exciting because I want to keep reading and find out what is really happening.

Chapter 14
Make a prediction about the fantasma mystery based only on what you know so far. What evidence from the story supports your prediction?
Example answer: I predict that the fantasma will have a real explanation instead of being only a scary ghost. Geronimo is in a mystery story, so I think the strange signs are clues the reader is supposed to think about. My evidence is that the book keeps making me ask questions instead of giving me one clear answer right away.

If you could give Geronimo one piece of advice after this chapter, what would you tell him and why?
