About book Thea Stilton And The Cherry Blossom Adventure (2011)

The sixth book in the Thea Stilton series, this book takes the Thea Sisters to Japan on an exchange program. The girls make instant friends with Kumi and start to learn about Kumi's family and Japan's culture as well. Suddenly Kumi's father disappears and the only thing to set him free is the one item Kumi's father is not willing to give up. Can they save the precious item and Kumi's father in time?Great book with lots of very interesting information on customs and traditions of Japan and the Japanese people. I read this book as part of an assignment to expand my knowledge on juvenile literature, since I work at a public library. I thought it was a nice fit, since I love Japan and have studied there. It truly was a cute book, an easy read and included a fun mystery. I enjoyed the facts on Japan, even though they were few, and were nicely detailed and accurate. The only thing that really bugged me about this book is the heavy "mouse" language. They don't talk, they "squeak," and so many words were altered to create puns involving mice and rats. This may have been cuter for a younger reader, but I'd definitely recommend the series.
