Review: Thea Stilton Journey to Atlantis

Title: Thea Stilton Journey to Atlantis Author: Thea Stilton About: The Thea sisters were on vacation until Paulina, one of the Thea sisters, found a blue-­‐skinned boy washed up on the beach of Whale Island who speaks an unknown language. It’s up to the Thea sisters to figure out where he is from. Would the Thea Sisters be able to help him get back home?

Main characters: Nicky, Colette, Paulina, Violet, Pamela and Thea Stilton.

Settings: Mouseford Academy, South America, Antarctica, Ethiopqia and Whale Island.

Rating: ********** 10/10 Recommended For: Age 8-­‐20 Opinion: I like it because it has great illustrations and an interesting storyline. It is a special edition. The characters are fascinating to read about. I also think it is a positive story.

How dogs are like wolves?

Dogs are related to grey wolves.

They are the same species.

Dogs and wolves are both quick and fast.

Dogs pant to keep them cool in the summer time, so do wolves.

They both have a strong sense of smell and danger.

The differences between dog and wolves are: dogs live in houses with adults and kids.

But wolves live in the wild most of the time they can live with people if need.

Do you want a dog? and you have a baby? Well, come along to: Greta’s Baby and Pet Centre It teaches your baby and your new pet how to play together. See if they bond, if not come and have for classes!

Interview: Thea Sisters

Interviewer: Hi, today we’re interviewing a group of cartoon mammals in a book series: The Thea Sisters.

What do you do to solve crimes and mysteries together?

Nicky: G’day, I’m Nicky. In the team, I’m always in a good mood when outdoors.

Colette: Bonjour je’me pielle Colette. In the team, if we come across a door with a lock with no keys around or we can’t find one, i use one of my furpins like a key; I’m also energetic and full of great ideas.

Paulina: Hi, I’m Paulina. In the team, I’m a computer genius, i love traveling around the world and meeting other rodents.

Violet: Ni hao, I’m Violet. In the team, I’m detail-­‐oriented and always open to new things.

Interview: Nicky, why can’t you stand small tight spaces?

Nicky: Because i suffer from claustrophobia, an extreme fear of tiny spaces. So that’s why i enjoy the outdoors.

Interviewer: Colette, you don’t like messing up your hair right?

Colette: What is hair?

Interviewer: The human word for fur.

Colette: Of course i hate my fur getting mess up, i just can’t stand being teased by one of the Thea sisters or some other rodent but they only tease me sometimes on the other paw, they help me sometimes. Whenever i got teased by one of the Thea sisters or another rodent, i poke my tongue playfully. It usually helps i guess.

Interviewer: Paulina, what happened to your parents since they left on Christmas Eve?

Paulina: **sniffs** I don’t know but it happened a long time ago. It was a sad Christmas; my sister Maria wouldn’t even crack a smile because our parents left, we’ve tried everything we could but it didn’t work. So Professor Sagefur, a friend of my Mom and Dad’s dressed up as Santamouse and finally, Maria smiled.

Interviewer: Tell me why were you were called Violet?

Violet: It started the day i was born, a violet flower bloomed in the greenhouse, so Grandpa Chen decided to call me ‘Zi Iuolan’ which means ‘Violet’ in chinese.

Interviewer: Pamela, you bring your wrench everywhere you go right and why?

Pamela: Oh yes, can’t leave without my wrench. I bring it just in case there is a mechanic job to do.

Interviewer: How many books are in the Thea Stilton series so far?

Paulina: 17 Thea Stilton books, 1 special edition and coming soon, two graphic novels. We can’t wait to check them out.

Interviewer: Who is the actual author of the Thea Stilton series?

Violet: Elisabetta Dami is the actual author and Emily Clement does the English translate since its actually made in Italy.

Interviewer: And that is all for the interview with the Thea Sisters, bye.

Nicky: G’bye.

Colette: Au revoir.

Paulina: Bye.

Violet: Bye.

Pamela: Bye bye.
