Carnevale a Venezia

Thea Stilton #26

by Thea Stilton, Tea Stilton

Mentre le Tea Sisters esplorano una Venezia animata dal carnevale, incontrano un misterioso ladro che fa sparire le maschere più preziose e affascinanti... Il ladro, travestito da mago, con tanto di mantello e cilindro, sembra compiere i suoi furti grazie a delle vere e proprie magie ed è sempre in grado di volatilizzarsi in modo veloce e senza lasciare tracce sul luogo del misfatto... Quando le cinque amiche riusciranno, in mezzo al coloratissimo carnevale di Venezia, a catturarlo e svelare la sua identità, scopriranno che il ladro è il discendente di un antico artigiano costruttore di maschere, che voleva così riprendersi le opere del suo antenato...

“All the thefts have taken place under mysterious circumstances... in the blink of a cat’s eye without anyone noticing anything, the objects just disappear.”

*REREAD at 2020*

That one chapter... I did not really just expect that twist. Wow.

This would have been a really fun book if they didn't put the magician in it. I told my sisters the story, but I changed him to a ninja, and they said that if I hadn't told them, they would have thought he really was a ninja.

De Thea Sisters gaan naar Venetië! Er is een carnaval... maar ook een mysterie!

Weer een heerlijk Thea Sisters boek, zo blij dat een van mijn bibliotheken hem eindelijk had! Ik zat al de hele tijd te hopen dat een van mijn bibliotheken hem eens aan de collectie zou toevoegen.

Pluspunten voor het feit dat dit verhaal in Venetië speelt, een van de steden die ik supergraag zou willen bezoeken. Het was heerlijk om over Venetië te lezen, maar ook om het te zien in de leuke illustratie-stijl van deze boeken. Nu wil ik nog meer naar Venetië. :P

Zoals met heel veel van de Thea Sisters boeken beginnen de verhalen rustig en op een best vrolijke toon. Maar op een of andere manier trekken onze Sisters mysteries aan als een magneet. Want ja, vrij snel na hun aankomst en aan het begin van de carnaval gaat het al mis. Er wordt iets gestolen en natuurlijk kunnen de Sisters (en hun vrienden) het niet laten om te gaan speuren en aanwijzingen te vinden.

Het mysterie is niet heel erg moeilijk (zoals altijd), ik had al vrij snel door wat er nou aan de hand was en had al een idee waarom dingen werden gestolen, maar ik vond het toch erg leuk om te lezen. Plus je bent dan echt aan het cheeren voor de meiden om het ook uit te vinden!

Het carnaval was heerlijk! Ah, nu wil ik ook daarheen en in een mooie jurk met een prachtig masker rondlopen.

En Venetië! Ik wil alles ontdekken en zien. In een boottaxi rondvaren om allemaal mooie plekjes te zien (geen zorgen ik zal niet in een tablet vastzitten tijdens de rit).

Ook leuk om te zien dat de tekenstijl steeds mooier wordt.

Natuurlijk heeft deze, net als al de andere boeken, weer wat informatie over het hoofdonderwerp van de boeken (dit keer dus Venetië) en ook puzzels, receptjes, en zelfs hele leuke hoe-maak-je-een-kostuum-stukjes (ik wil die wolkenhoed zo graag uitproberen) aan het einde.

Dus een aanrader en ik kan niet wachten op het volgende boek!

I was really happy with the pace in the Venice Masquerade. The Thea Stilton editors kept this case moving in exciting directions and didn't leave me bored. While reading this, I wonder why I hadn't heard about Carnival prior in some of the reality TV competition shows I've seen. It'd be a fun prompt for a challenge or photoshoot.

P.S. I feel reading the Mouseford Academy companion series will come in handy sooner than later because some of the side characters "re-introduced" here are likely introduced there, and would make only reading the main series less confusing at parts.

I had no idea who the villain was! It was so confusing and well put together. I think that the author did an excellent job and needed no critiquing. I think that it was not realistic, but that is because it is about a group of friends that are mice.

Thea Stilton was what got me into reading in the first place. I have 16 Thea Stilton books. And i loved them all. I still love them, but i don't enjoy them as much as i used to. Because as i grow older, my interest in Young Adult Fantasy grows too. And i've been reading books by Leigh Bardugo or Victoria Aveyard. I think Thea Stilton will forever be my childhood favorite book. I love Paulina and Will, they're perfect for each other <3 (also i've read more than 16 books but i only have 16 of them in physical copies, the others i read in a library) (I apologize if there were misspellings or incorrect grammar, English isn't my first language and I am still learning something new everyday, so please tolerate me if there were mistakes)

I think that if I'd read these books as a kid, I might have liked them more than I do as a parent. But, they're still fun, rompy, kind of mysteries, and while they are a bit silly, they have fun with the silliness, which makes them endearing. And, of course, when my daughter checked this one out from the library, I had to give it a go--because masks, and Venice, and things. A cute installment in a generally cute children's mystery series.

[Lenni Jones]

Another masterpiece by the author of Thea Stilton! Now I wish I could go to Italy during Carnival! It seems so fun and beautiful. Plus, I’d love to try some authentic Italian food.

This mystery was a bit more difficult and surprising, which made it more fun for me. Plus, I love masquerades, so that was fun to read about too.

I recommend this book to fans of the series, younger children, and adults who need something light to read.

I loved these books when I was younger and I couldn't get enough of them. This was the first one that I read. I got to learn about different places in the world that the Thea Sisters traveled to. There was also always a mystery, which I would think about a lot, and loved trying to solve, though they always surprised me and the end was always different then I thought. I recommend these books to third and fourth graders.

I believe that there may be an error on page 129. I may be wrong, but it doesn't read right. "Is it a crime to follow the wishes of your own your ancestor?" Either the 'your' was repeated, or a comma should've been added.

Just finished rereading the book... maybe the 4th time? It was still a nice experience reading this book once again! This whole mystery based around the carnival, which was a nice timeframe for a mystery to be! This book was really interesting!

**spoiler alert**
The story was about the Thea Sisters heading to Venice in Italy to see their friends that they met at Mouseford for a summer course, they were Marco and his sister Elisa. They headed to the carnival and they witnessed a minor theft, which a fan was stolen, by a sleight of hand. Marco and Elisa’s father was a chief inspector, the ‘thief’ had stolen items left and right, from dresses to precious masks and fans. But the stolen items all had something in common!

They investigated in the theft, but their friend’s father didn’t allow them. The Thea Sisters, Marco and Elisa figured out leads, they ended up catching the wrong person (which, the person was a surprise!)

Since the thief had announced their last steal, and the Thea Sisters were out chasing the ‘wrong person’, they went back to see the mask already been stolen. And the rest escalated a bit too quickly, that’s why I gave it a 4 star.

And the motive/reason behind the stealing was a great surprise too!

Overall it’s still quite a nice story to read! Enjoy reading it!
