Summary Of The Book

Thea Stilton is the sister of the Geronimo Stilton, who is the most respected journalist in all of Mouse Island. She is the adventurous sister who sometimes acts as a special correspondent for The Rodent’s Gazette, the publication that belongs to her brother. This time she pens down the most interesting case of Thea Stilton: And The Mystery On The Orient Express. The Thea Sisters take Thea Stilton's place on the Orient Express since she cannot reach Paris on time to make it aboard the train. The Thea Sisters are a group of five ‘mouselets’ namely Colette, Nicky, Pamela, Pauline and Violet who were Thea's prodigious students in the course of adventure journalism taught by her.

The buzz around the trip between Paris and Istanbul is due to the discovery of the legendary ‘Veil of Light’, an ancient wedding gown that was stolen from the Palace Museum in Istanbul almost a century earlier. This very important piece of history was finally being routed back to Turkey and Orient Express was the decided choice of transportation attracting the attention of the entire world of glitz and glamour in ‘mousedom.’

The Thea Sisters are excited as they are expected to take interviews of all the celebrities and other dignitaries aboard the train. The correspondence they do manage to come across will finally find their way into the Rodent’s Gazette. However things are not so simple aboard the Orient Express. There are rumours of the notorious and mysterious criminal, the Acrobat Thief, planning to steal the wedding gown before it reaches Istanbul.
