Today, I read 'Thea sisters and the dancing shadows'. It is one of the books of Geronimo Stilton series but it is written by his sister, Thea Stilton.
In the book, the Thea sisters learn ballet. They perform the dance in the school, Mouseford Academy and are praised by their professor. The professor says that The Thea sister can go to Milan in Italy to participate in a competition. But she says that the mice are going to compete with other dance mice from the 'Mice for Dance' agency. From that agency, three crooked judges who always pass the dancers from their agency and disqualify mice from other dance schools. The Thea Sisters' names are Nicky (Nic), Colette (It's Colette), Violet (Vi), Pamela (Pam), Paulina (Polly). So, in the competition, they meet a young dancer named Carlotta who is self - taught.
Carlotta and Colette are like twins. They look alike. So, to rehearse, The Thea sisters, a dance teacher named Natalya Rattlova, her nephews, Vasily and Pyotr go to a nearby park as the crooked judges would not let them to practice in the rooms. When they are practicing, a crooked mouse follows them. So, they planned up how to catch those crooked mice and Colette tries to dance with their opponent, Gaspard. Colette danced with him and he purposely hit Colette and she sprained her ankle. So, the next day, Violet, Carlotta, Vasily and Pyotr go to practice. Colette goes to her room to rest her ankle. Nic, Pam and Polly follow Gaspard to a fort like place secretly. Then Gaspard goes inside and talked with that mouse who followed The Thea sisters.
The crook was none other than one of the crooked judges, Monsieur Le Bars. The mice who were following could hear what the two were speaking even thought they were 30 feet away from the sisters because the area was sound transmit. The two mice were planing how to get rid of Carlotta. So, at last, the plan that they planned worked and the three crooked judges were forced to leave the ballet competition and the dancers from from 'Mice for Dance' were disqualified from the competition. At last, it was time for the Thea sisters to leave Milan and go back to Mouseford Academy. So, they bid their goodbyes and left for the airport. I enjoyed it very well and I hope many other stories are interesting like this.
About the Thea Stilton series : It is a very interesting series. It is about many kinds of mysteries. For each mystery, they give a clue after 2 or 3 chapters and after 5 or 6 chapters to find out what the mystery is. I love these kinds of adventures and I hope there are many kinds of books like this.
