Weer een leuk verhaal in de Topford serie. Alleen jammer van Vanilla die maar gewoon lekker wegkomt met alles wat ze doet. Erggggg jammer, maar ja, standaard verhaal dat het rijke kreng met alles wegkomt. Gelukkig krijgt ze wel een lekkere portie karma boven op haar dak. :P
Het toneelstuk, de auditie, het was allemaal erg leuk. Wel jammer dat dit een #1 boek is maar leest alsof het al veel verder in de serie is.

A really fun and easy read. I really liked this one. Kind of predictable, but still enjoyable. The play process was very interesting. I totally agree that the theater and plays bring you to another world of emotion.

I would like Geronimo Stilton books more than Thea Stilton.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes plays and theatre.
My favourite character is Violet because she loves studying and learning new things. She is a fan of classical music and dreams of becoming a famous violinist someday.
Other characters are Pamela, Paulina, Nicky, Violet and Colette.



Have fun reading!

I love the book as it gives me more knowledge about drama. I love the way The Thea Sisters solve their mystery with the help with some of their friends. I love the way Thea Stilton reads their book and publishes it. This book is definitely for the young readers who love mysteries.

I kinda like this book because there are lot of emotions in it. So basically this book is about the drama at mouseford academy for the school which was turning 600years and the drama was about mouseo and juliet just like romeo and juliet and where students had to give audition.And The thea sisters friendship is something that is need in between all the friends as they all know that only one mice girl can become juliet and they was be happy as long as one of them got the part and then the jealousy of ruby can be seen very clearly and what she did was not goot at all that's why karma didn't let her go. At last violet became the juliet and as per the book she did great and everybody was very happy and gave applauded even ruby too.

Drama at Mouseford is the start of a new series featuring the Thea Sisters. It is very much like the other books featuring this mousy quintet, just without a preset mystery for the reader to solve. The premier volume has the school putting on the play of Mouseo and Juliet, by William Squeakspeare, who are from two rival cheese-making families who want to open up a cheese shop together. (Guess the intended audience is a bit young for suicidal teenagers and their emo-y angst.) Overall, not a bad addition to the Stilton-verse.

Really? Chen was the shy, smart one? And it has to be the "nice" girls against the "mean" girls? I see why the Geronimo Stilton family of books are appealing to kids, but the lazy stereotypes aren't necessary and make me really unwilling to recommend the books to young readers.

Is een leuke verhaal om te lezen over 5 vriendinnen die vanalles meemaken door iemand. Zeker om te lezen als je van girl dingen houdt en zeker van toneel. Fijne boekje, dit helpt mijn reading slump eruit te krijgen.
