It was very adventurous. I liked it because they traveled to a lot of places like, Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. They found a boy in Whale Island where the Thea sisters live. The boy was from Atlantis and he was very special to them. I recommend this book for people who like traveling the world, or people who want to.

Yes, this looks stupid. But it isn't. I picked this up at the library because I remembered finding it thrilling as an 8-year-old, and I will admit when I first started reading it again I had trouble putting it down. I got less into it as it went on, but this is still a valid piece of literature. I liked it.
(BTW, *Spoiler Alert* they never actually go to Atlantis. 😅)

Wow incredible, amazing, magnificent! I can’t believe a rat wrote this! Has anyone contacted the national rat institution of intellects?! If not I’ll call right now I can’t believe this is a true story what brave rats with impeccable style, such fashion, such bravery, such women. You can read this story to your friends, family, dog, or do as I do, stand outside your house with a megaphone and read to the neighbourhood

I read this at my daughter's behest. This is the cutest anthropomorphic mouse girl power fantasy/adventure book. There's peril, travel to far away places like Ethiopia, Portugal, Antarctica and Argentina and friendship. I would have loved reading this series as a pre pre teen.

Well, I was not reading this book for a month because I was reading my other books. Then I was bored reading the same 3 books for such a long time. I started to continue this book from 1st Dec and found interest in it. Probably I would rate it 5 stars.

Since I have many avid Geronimo and Thea Stilton fans that frequent my little library, I figured it was high time to give these a go. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. These books are well-written for their intended genre and audience--mystery/adventure for 8-10 year olds. Certain words are written in different colors and fonts that I, as an adult, found distracting, as it limited my ability to speed/skim through the novel. Kiddos love it, however, as it makes it seem more like a graphic novel, and they are reading more slowly anyway. It's not really a hindrance to them, but an advantage. And it doesn't hurt me to slow down every once in awhile. These books also include quite a few color illustrations, which helps the reader visualize unfamiliar locations and concepts.
Oh, and I also enjoyed the story and characters as well!! :)

Lectura recomendada para niños a partir de 10 años. La historia, pensada para esta edad, es original y atrayente.
Le pongo cuatro estrellas y no cinco porque le faltó a la trama algo más de conflicto para no hacer que esta fuera algo tranquila y pesada.

A great book for kids who love adventures. The cover is so pretty, I bought it when I was a high schooler because I remembered the joy of reading Geronimo Stilton series when I was a middle schooler. And his savvy sister Thea Stilton made her own book?! There's no way I'm missing it. That's what I thought when I first bought it. Cause what kind high schooler is going to read this kind of book, right? But it's a fun and good book to spare time with to read something light. Especially great for kids.
Overall score: 3.6⭐⭐⭐

I would absolutely have adored this in my childhood so it gets 4 stores and I'm recommending it to my friends with preteen readers. it's full of beautiful colored illustrations, colorful type fonts of all kinds on a few words each page, and has a sophisticated by accessible vocabulary for pre-teens. It is not dumbed down at all, but will I think stretch a kid's reading vocabulary while having fun. It's also got a few recognizable and humorous moments to amuse the parent or older sibling who might be reading this to a kid; my favorite was the allusion to one of my favorite Sean Connery moments in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Thea's Sisters are 5 girls attending Mouseford Academy on Whale Island. They each have their own skill and talents and are the best of friends. They are all bright and adventurous and based on the number of books that seem to have been published, they get involved with all sorts of mysteries and adventures. Kind of reminded me of a younger Nancy Drew or even the Happy Hollister Family. In this particular special edition adventure, Pauline discovers a blue boy washed up on the shore. After saving him, they set out to help him find his home. Only there is a problem: his home is the lost city of Atlantis. There's also another problem: there's a villain after him.
Never fear, the villain is thwarted and the blue boy finds his way home with their help through a series of maps, puzzles, cryptograms, hidden clues, and riddles, and the help of Thea (an older friend who had once been at the Academy - there is a story somewhere I'm sure as to how this quintet became known as Thea's Sisters) and a secret research society, and travels to Argentina, Antartica, Portugal, Turkey (to my favorite site in Istanbul), and Ethiopia.
I probably should mention that Thea's Sisters and every character in the story except for Blue Boy is a mouse.

If you like mysteries this book is just for you Thea Stilton and the journey to Atlantis a fabmause book.
It’s a special edition with a special group and a special mystery and it’s for people who are mystery lovers!
At the beginning of Thea Stilton and the journey to Atlantis Pam a spectacular young girl finds a boy on a beach while she was running
on whale island !
Then she brought him back to the Thea sisters a detective group and the boy was asleep when Pam brought him in.He had a symbol that had his name on it he also had very rich and silky clothes and it was Atlantis.Then when he finally woke up he said something in a different language.So the Thea sisters wondered where he was from but you have to read the book to find out what language it is!!
If you like mysteries I imagine that you would probably like this book. I also like this book because this book has a huge mystery.
For example Atlantis’s different language has the Thea sisters
Wondering what to do because they don’t know where he lives
or who his parents are it could be anyone like a queen and king
or anyone else in the whole entire world!
I think that the boy is very important because his parents could be any one special. What do you think could it be possible?You should read the book to find out!!!
This proves that he (Atlantis) is very important. The news actually says”The news said that a strange boy with blue skin had been found spread across Whale island”!!
The boy (Atlantis) with blue skin saves the Thea sisters from an evil researcher without any words because he had a different language !So now you have to read the book to find out what language Atlantis speaks!!

Want to read
October 9, 2020I love the Thea Stilton books. They have it in my school too. I really want all of the series to have a little collection of them but I can't. Reason 1: This is probably in America. Why can't I? I live in the Philippines. Reason 2: It's probably like 5 - 10 dollars. Why? Each dollar is 50.00 pesos in the Philippines. It's rounded off. Reason 3: If I did have enough money, well I can't. Remember this line?
I love the Thea Stilton books. They have it in my school too. I really want all of the series to have a little collection of them but I can't.
The reason why I can't is because if I even am rich and able to afford it, there are so many Thea Stilton books. How can I?
Reason 4: I'm a kid here. I can't just get my ass up and get the money. When I was gifted money, my parents took it. Well I'm okay with it. I'm not mad or anything.

I think this is a imaginary book which involves a lot of creativity when you read this book. This is about the Thea sisters discovered a mysterious boy with blue skin who is washed up on the shore. He speaks an language which they don't understand, so the Thea sisters called Thea Stilton for help. Then they went on to a exciting and adventurous journey to find clues about the boy's origin.
I personally like this book as it does not contains too much word like medium, but what I like about it is the pictures and the games in the book. there is a few pages with weird symbols where they need you to hold up your book to a mirror to crack the code. I think that it's a brilliant way to read a book because I have never read a book with such a interesting activity in it !

Since buying this book in elementary school, I've read it more times than I can count. While packing my books into boxes because I'm moving in a couple of weeks, I rediscovered this series thus resulting in this reread many years later. It's just as I remember, full of magic and fun, but also definitely more junior than I remember, which is to be expected I guess since I'm a lot older now. It was a refreshing change from the YA that I normally read, and I read it pretty quickly within a couple of hours. The illustrations are also gorgeous and enhance the reading experience. Definitely want to reread the rest of the series and see what I think.

In this adventure, the Thea sisters (students of Thea - Geronimo’s sister) come across a blue man that has washed ashore on Whale Island, where they are studying. They adventure around the world in search of more information about their new blue friend. Their adventures take them to Buenes Aires, Antarctica, Lisbon, Istanbul and Ethiopia, searching for pieces of a map to help them figure out where the blue man comes from.
This book didn’t engage my 6 year old sun as well as The Kingdom of Fantasy books, which have maps, mazes and codes to unlock.

**SPOILERS**
I'm mad that Professor Quasar is a thief.
I liked the end. Because I got to see all those Thea and Geronimo books.
Some of the places they visited: Whale Island and the desert.
Problem: They had to get away from the mean guy, Professor Quasar. They solved it by tricking him and putting that device onto the camel's neck with a collar.
Problem: Where did the blue boy come from? They used Atlas's necklace to go on a journey to collet map pieces to Atlas could go home.

Look at that. If that wasn’t a fantastic book then I don’t know what is. It is for children from 8 to 10 so it’s very childish with like a mindset that friendship overpowers everything but that didn’t bother me at all. I actually liked it a lot. It changes from the smutty mafia romances I read on wattpad. It really revived a lot of childhood memories and I’m starting the next book immediately.

The journey to atlantis is about the Thea sisters finding a mysterious stranger washed up on the shores of whale bay's beach. They then embark on a journey of discovery to find where this stranger came from and why he doesn't speak their language.

This was a fun book! I have grown up with the Thea Sisters, and couldn't wait to read this interpretation of them and what had happened. However, I will say that they never did get to go to the actual land, it was more of a story for them to help get the person back to their place and that sort.
