I was just minding my business at home when I got a telephone call. It was my uncle Samuel S. Stingysnout, inviting the whole Stilton family to creepy, faraway Penny Pincher Castle for a big surprise.

Moldy mozzarella - I'm not much of a traveling mouse, and I hate surprises. But Thea, Trap, and Benjamin were going, so I couldn't say no. I could tell this was going to be one super-spooky trip!


正當我窩在家裡思考事情時，電話響了，是我叔叔山謬‧曉企諸（小氣豬）打來的。他邀請整個史提頓家族到金銀城進行一趟大冒險，偏偏金銀城不僅鬼影幢幢，路途還頗遙遠呢！

乖乖嚨地咚，我從來就不是隻愛旅行的老鼠，再說，我討厭冒險！可是我的妹妹菲菲、表弟賴皮和外甥班傑明都要去，我沒有選擇的餘地，一定得去。但是，我敢打包票這趟令人毛骨悚然的旅程肯定沒好事發生！
