The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke


Title: The Thief Lord
Author: Cornelia Funke
Stars: 4
Description: Welcome to the magical underworld of Venice, Italy. Here, hidden canals and crumbling rooftops shelter runaways and children with incredible secrets. After escaping from their cruel aunt and uncle, orphans Prosper and Bo meet a mysterious boy who calls himself the "Thief Lord." Clever and charming, the Thief Lord leads a band of street children who enjoy making mischief. But the Thief Lord also has a dark secret. And suddenly Prosper and Bo find themselves on a fantastical journey to a forgotten place. What they discover there will change the course of their destiny...forever.
I think this book is very well written, I have read Inkheart, anther book by Cornelia Funke. This book grabs you from the first page and you don't want to put it down until the last word. I think the story that is in the Thief Lord is just really cool and fun and everybody should read this book!
There is some language, Oh my Lo**, he**, and stuff like that, but nothing extreme.
