The characters:  Nicky, Pamela, Colette, Violet, Paulina also called the Thea sisters, Atlas, Professor Quasar and Kelly

About the characters:  Nicky loves open spaces and nature. Colette is energetic and full of great ideas.Violet likes to unwind by listening to classical music and drinking green tea. Paulina is shy and a bit clumsy. Pamela wants to be a car mechanic when she grows up. Atlas is their friend from Atlantis. Professor Quasar is the person who wants to capture Atlas. Kelly is the Thea sisters' friend who is a scientist.

What is about? It is about the Thea sisters discovering Atlas, a boy with blue skin washed up on the shore by the blue current in Whale island. He speaks in a musical tone that they couldn't understand so the Thea sisters decided to look for Atlas' origins. They went to several countries and along the way Professor Quasar tried to steal Atlas. Professor Quasar tried to trap them but they always escape. Halfway on their adventure, they went to Alaska where they met Kelly, a scientist who created bracelets that can translate what Atlas says. Finally they were able to understand Atlas and they learned that he is a prince of Atlantis. They went back to Whale island and continued to fight against Professor Quasar's plot to steal Atlas. In the end, the Thea sisters still won. They sent Professor Quasar back to his hometown and Atlas finally got to go home by the help of his dolphin friends.

What did you learn? I learned that you should help other people when they need help.

Response: I think my favorite character was Paulina because she was the most helpful person for Atlas.  My favorite scene is when Atlas returned to his home. Because I think the best place and people you want to be with is your family.
