Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The Thea Sisters find themselves recruited to investigate bribery and collusion at an international dance competition. Set against a Milanese backdrop—predominantly the La Scala Opera House—the five mouselings band together to help a new friend and reveal the shenanigans of Mice for Dance. The story is formulaic, although information about dance styles, terminology, and famous theaters around the world appear as entertaining sidebars. Readers diving into the series now will find no previous knowledge is necessary. Heavily illustrated in full color, this book is attractive and appealing. Enthusiastic Geronimo Stilton fans will certainly agree. Grades 2-4. --Kara Dean

    Finding these books is almost impossible because they are never anywhere! I bought this book for my daughter because she is a fan of the series and she loved this book. She is 9 and I would catch her walking around the house or to the car from school with her nose in it! So glad she enjoyed it. Anythign that gets kids reading is a win!

    I recommend this book (actually the whole series) for ages 9-11. I kind of wish there was more romance between Violet and Pyotr or Vasily. The format was great, and so was the content, but the villains were too predictable. I wish it were more of a surprise of who the villains were. But, 9 year olds should be able to enjoy it

    My son collects all Geronimo books, and he finished nearly all of them. So he started to read Thea Stilton books, as good as the other ones. But I guess girls will enjoy them more.
