This was quite a fabumouse story! The Thea Sisters, five teen-aged mice from all over the world that are best friends, are all going to Collete's home city, Paris, for vacation. While there, Collete's cousin, Julie, is preparing for her fashion show. However, someone steals her entire collection! It is up to the Thea Sisters to find the culprit and help Julie. While the actual plot is very predictable, the format of the book is very welcoming to beginning chapter book readers. There are bright pictures, bigger font, and different colors and styles of font that pepper the text and make it rather jazzy. Younger readers that might be scared of reading boring black and white text chapter books will welcome the bright words. Another cool feature is that there are informational sidebars about some of the aspects of French culture, which will help the young readers learn about French culture while they enjoy this cheerful mystery. The only fault to me is that at times all of the features, like the colors and sidebars, can be distracting. Overall, this book is highly recommended for readers ages 7-11.

I've recommended this series to kids for years...without ever having read a single book. Well, finally, I now have.

The story is a mystery with mice as characters. What kids love about the books are full-color illustrations among text that makes a real chapter book. And on each page are a half-dozen or so illustrated words, and every story has lots and lots of mice-inspired puns.

Quite fun!

Thea Stilton and the Mystery in Paris by Thea Stilton is a very adventurous book. This book is about the Thea Sisters going to Paris because of Colette's fashions and family. Then something horrific happens her designs have been snatched. The sisters think they know who the sneaky culprit is until something even bigger happens. Will the Sisters catch the thief before the big show or will they walk away empty handed. This book is filled with adventure, mystery, and best friends who help Colette out. Thea always makes her books hard to put down that's why I think readers love her books. Her characters all have there own individuality but yet come together and do incredible things. These books are great to read if you have a free weekend or just want to get a good book to read in a short amount of time.

indoctrination successful >:) he is a big fan and seeks more stilton novels.

while reading to him, i stopped to sip some water and the little one would beseech me to continue. i would deviate from the storyline thinking he wasn’t listening, and for some reason suddenly the thea sisters “went to the garden to have a picnic, eating the little toes of small children!” he would wrinkle his nose and exclaim, “what!! 😨 okay skip that weird part of the book…”

The Thea Sisters are spending the vacation in Paris, in Julie, Collete's cousin home. Julie's collection is inspired by a small map. But Julie's collection was stolen and her laptop, broken. Would the thief be searching for the map?

Borrowed this from my daughter. A light hearted and fun read.

When Julie's collection for her college fashion show was found to be ruined, they suspected someone was jealous with Julie.

This is a straight forward mystery. I figured who is the criminal halfway thru the book.

Anyway, the illustrations and the history part was wonderfully done. Suitable for age 7-12

While I thought the ending went by too fast, the quick pace and fun character interactions will keep readers' attention as the Thea Sisters head to Paris and get wrapped up in a mystery involving Colette's cousin. This series is the perfect comfort read while I wait to read something else and I'm happy my local library had the e-book version of this.

I like this story because it was nice & interesting. The mystery was about missing clothes and how Thea & her friends found them. They also visited famous places in Paris like the Eiffel Tower.

I love the Thea Stilton series, and while the plot was predictable, I'm already biased with my star rating, based on my love for the series!

I wish that Pierre Fabricon's designs could've been restored and placed in a museum exhibit instead of being left behind at the Opera House...

Professor Le Blanc being the thief of Julie's designs became fairly obvious but it was still nice seeing how the Thea Sisters and Julie figured out using the clues they saw!

I read this book, when I was doing the 20-30 min challenge, and the funny thing is this book took me like an hour to read when I was young and now it takes me 30 min or less. ! It's crazy! FOund it in my kid book section at home. I would recommend this book if you were doing the 30 min challenge like me!

Une vague de nostalgie douillette à me replonger dans ce bouquin, qui jadis trônait dans ma bibliothèque d'enfance.

Une bande de souris solidaires et charismatiques qui résolvent les crimes les plus sophistiqués au nom de l'équité et de la sororité, que demander de plus ? C'est sucré, c'est fun, c'est doux.

Et oui, je suis probablement biaisée, et il faut reconnaître que certaines Tea Sisters sont plus mises en avant que d'autres, mais les enjeux restent valables (la promotion et la défense de la vérité, de l'écologie, de la créativité et de l'intégrité etc…), et puis visiter un nouveau pays chaque tome, aussi touristique soit le parcours, ça fait rêver, non ?

i started to read this book because i have read many other Geronimo Stilton adventures and because this book was going to be about his sister it made me more excited because it is another demintion in his life.
The category i have out this in is A fantasy book because of how it helps you imagine a mouse , kid like world.
i like this book because of Thea Stilton represents women and girls in the world and how they can standup to older and bigger people then her which helps me think and want to do the same.
i didnt like that this book was so short , if it had gone longer i think the story would have made a bigger and better dimension to the book which would of wanted me to get more interested in the author.
i would reccommend this book for girls because of how the adventures of Thea teaches girls about being willingful and fearless.

I think this is one of the best Thea Stilton books I have read so far. I think it is the best because it shows how greed can "blind" people.
Collette's cousin in Paris invited the Thea Sisters to her fashion show. But a few days after they arrived in Paris, her designs were stolen. Apparently, her teacher had stolen them. She made her dresses by copying a map and making dresses based on the different sections. And her teacher wanted this map because it led you to a very old, sacred, priceless dress. But in the end, the Thea Sisters found out and the teacher said sorry.

Many parents and teachers frown upon the Geronimo/Thea series and blame the 'inappropriate grammar'

Honestly it's an OK story but I loved the word play. Like instead of breathless/speechless the sisters become 'squeakless' when tired/surprised. Or they have more 'on their paws' than they can handle. Their adventures are fabu-mouse. And their analogies are to cheese and cats.

If your kids love these books, let them enjoy guilt free. It's a phase!
