I read this series from its beginning back in 2009 up until 2015 when I grew out of it and addmittedly, didn’t like the art change. I’m kind of picky about those things. Also very nostalgia-biased as you can tell by my choices. Anywho this will include Super specials, but exclude the Thea Sisters at Mousefords since that came out later and I never read them. However, I did get a copy of one of those books in Brazil back in 2012, years before they came out in the U.S. so can someone explain why it was released there and not in the U.S. to me?

Thea Stilton and the Ghost of the Shipwreck

This was my favorite because not only is it like two stories in one, but also features Violet in the second half who was my favorite of the mouselets. Featuring devious villains and beautiful illustrations, it was very enjoyable. Also loved their fashions here.

Thea Stilton and the Mountain of Fire

The second adventure of the Thea Sisters is where I believe the author really cemeted the premise of the series with having the girls travel around the world. I enjoyed getting to see Nicky’s family and a bit of life on the sheep ranch. What was always so cool to me was how it included vital facts of each country, its customs, its geography etc. that was very educational but with its cartoony style, kept it fun. I’m not sure if they still keep that.

Thea Stilton and the Dragon’s Code

The first book in the series brought the girls together and was really the only to include Thea Stilton in it. I believe they stopped having her as a framing device later on the series which sort of a shame. She was the one wh brought them together. Anyway, Thea is invited to her alma mater to become a guest speaker where she meets the girls who are clashing roommates. But a mystery in the halls of Mouseford and a missing teacher brings them together and thus the Thea Sisters are born. Plus it has the original profiles, map of Mouseford and its falculties that were such a nice touch. Or maybe I’m just very nostalgic for this book.

Thea Stilton and the Blue Scarab Hunt

This was a fun adventure of hiroglyphics and a conniving villain that I wished to have reoccurred but alas hadn’t happened. Said villain was intriguing in that it was one of the few villains that wasn’t automatically a suspect. The twist was an actual surprise to my young mind. Plus the choice of travelling through the infamous Egyptian tombs and pyraminds brought to my mind The Mummy movie that made it all the more scary yet exciting.

Special Edition: The Secret of the Fairies

The super special editions call on the girls are recruited by a top secret agency to investigate magical lands beyond their world. This time they go to Ireland to rescue a missing agent with Thea onboard as well in a race against time for as the sea rises, their exit portal will be blocked off. Anyway I enjoyed this one for its use of Irish/Celtic/Welsh mythology like the kelpies and the banshees that populated its pages. Plus the art here was gorgeous.
