Will Mystery calls the Thea Sisters for their help. There is a crack in the ceiling of the Hall of Seven Roses, which indicates trouble with the fairies. The girls and Will take a helicopter to Mount Everest to access the fairies in the clouds. Once they get there, they find Ariette, a weaver fairy, who is locked away in a tower. She has been sent there because the Queen thinks she caused their problems by telling the fairies about the real world below the clouds. The problem is that the weaver fairies, who create silver thread with their dreams, are no longer producing it. They need the silver thread to weave clouds everyday. The Thea Sisters and Will embark on a mission to clear Ariette's name and discover the truth behind the missing silver thread.
There were many aspects from World mythology in this story. For example, the elephant, Airavata, reminded me of Krishna from Indian mythology and the hundred handed giant is like the ones from Greek mythology.
Multiple words on each page stand out by being illustrated. For example, words related to snow would have snow covering the tops of the letters and the word "rainbow" had a different colour for each letter. This makes these words stand out and would teach young readers what they mean.
The mouse theme was present throughout the story. They would exclaim "Holey Cheese," and at first I thought they spelled "holy" wrong. The same thing happened when they described something as "enormouse." This was a clever way to incorporate the mouse theme into the story.
This book was recommended to me by a ten-year-old because it's her favourite book. I was surprised at how many times I laughed while reading it. I haven't read any other books in the series but I still really enjoyed it.
