This is the latest book of the Thea
Sisters. In this story, the latest
mystery book of a famous writer, Vigmar Ratsson was being sold. All the mouselings of Mouseford Academy were
in the bookstore, trying to buy a copy of the book.
The Thea Sisters – Colette, Nicky, Pamela,
Paulina and Violet – were a huge fan of Vigmar Ratsson. The writer’s motherland was Iceland. They remember their friends, Roska and Arna
from Iceland and e-mail them, asking them how they were and if they liked
Vigmar Ratsson’s books.
They get an e-mail back from Roska and Arna,
inviting them to Iceland. So, the five
of them pack their bags and go to Iceland.
Their friends meet them there and take them on a tour of the place. The Thea Sisters were surprised to hear that
Vigmar Ratsson was Roska and Arna’s uncle.
The next day was the reading of his latest
book ‘The Volcano Chase’. Everybody,
including the Thea Sisters, Roska, Arna and their friend Stefan, were waiting
for the writer, but he did not come there till the end. The program got cancelled and everybody
became worried.
Roska and Arna said that if there was any
program featuring their uncle, he would be sure to be there and would never be
late. So, the Thea Sisters, Roska, Arna
and Stefan plan to find out where the writer was.
At first, they went to his house – a wooden
one with many plants on top – and to their astonishment, they find the door
half opened. Someone had cracked the
lock. Inside, his rooms were
ransacked. They were sure that whoever
ransacked it had been searching for the manuscript of his latest novel ‘The
Black Tide’. But, the writer had been
sure to hide it safely somewhere.
He had left clues for them to find him. His clues were brilliant. With each clue, there was a USB drive, which
had a chapter from the upcoming book.
Violet, being the bookworm of the group, read the chapters and explained
them to her friends. His book was based
on ecological mystery.
And finally, they all found where he
was. When they were getting closer, two
rats captured them and locked them inside a dark room. Those rats told that if only the friends gave
them the USB drives containing the chapters would they let them go. But when the friends refused, the rats locked
them up in a dark room. Inside the room,
they found Vigmar Ratsson.
He explained that he wanted to do some research
on ecology and the threats to the environment, when the criminal rats caught
him and locked him up. The friends also
find Bryndis, the writer’s editor, who too had wanted to get hold of the manuscript. She had been following the friends on their
journey and now, she also was trapped along with them.
Suddenly, Orri, a journalist who had always
followed the eight friends for the manuscript, opened the door. He told that even though they told him not to
follow them, he still followed them and found out that they were trapped. So, everyone planned to trap the two criminal
rats. They called out to the rats
saying, ‘We will give you the manuscript, if you free us.’
When the rats came to receive the manuscript,
the friends push the two rats inside, lock the door and escape. After the police had taken their statement,
everybody was free to go.
It was parting time. The Thea Sisters were a little sad to leave
Iceland and their friends. They came back
to Mouseford Academy and one day, in the middle of their class, the postmouse
interrupted and gave a package for the Thea Sisters. When they opened, they were surprised to see
that they got five brand – new copies of the new book ‘The Black Tide’. Inside the book, in the page 125, there was a
surprise for them. They were five of the
characters in the book. In the note
attached to the package, the writer had written that without the Thea Sisters,
he would not have been able to write and publish this book, and so, as a token
of thanks, he had made the five of them characters in the book. The Thea Sisters were excited and happy that
they have helped someone.
