About this title

About the Author:

Thea Stilton was born in New Mouse City, Mouse Island. She is a special correspondent for The Rodent's Gazette, Mouse Island's most famouse newspaper, which is edited by her famouse brother, Geronimo Stilton. A graduate of the prestigious Mouseford Academy, Ms. Stilton is a visiting professor of journalism at Mouseford today. She is also the author of numerous mystery novels based on the exciting lives of her friends and former students, the Thea Sisters. In her spare time, Ms. Stilton loves to travel and go on fabumouse adventures.

From Booklist:

Colette, Violet, Pamela, Nicky, and Paulina are the Thea Sisters at Mouseford Academy; they study with Thea Stilton, journalist and equally famous sister of the famed Geronimo Stilton. The new school year brings new students, including siblings Vanilla and Vic, children of wealthy businesswoman Vissia De Vissen, who claims to be concerned about the environment. When an orca threatens the local fishermen, however, the Thea Sisters discover that Vissia has plans for the orca and other sea creatures, including the whales of Whale Island, that bode no good for the environment. Thea Stilton is credited as the author, but the story was created by a team of Italian writers and artists and translated by Nanette McGuinness for Papercutz. The story centers on the Thea Sisters rather than on Thea Stilton, who makes only a brief appearance in this book, but most readers won’t care. They’ll enjoy the action and mystery in this colorful graphic novel. Fans of the chapter books will also enjoy the additional adventures in this new series. Grades 2-4. --Kat Kan
