The Thief Lord is
a fantasy story about two brothers, Prosper and Bo, who run
away from their aunt and uncle to live in Venice. They meet
up with a band of thieves and live with them in an abandoned
movie theater called the Stella Marie, or the Star Palace. The
band of thieves are forced to live by stealing. Their leader,
Scipio, steals from all of the important places in Venice. One
day they find out a secret about Scipio that changes their lives
forever.
I recommend you read
this book during the day, because some parts make you so happy
that you can't sleep!

The Thief Lord, by Cornelia Funke,
is a fantastic book. It is about two brothers named Prosper
and Bo who run away from their Aunt Esther Hartlieb. They
run away because Esther wants Bo with all of her heart and
she would only allow Prosper to see Bo once a month. When
Prosper and Bo get to Venice, they live with a gang of thieves
in an abandoned movie theater called the Stella or the Star
Palace. The leader of their little gang is called Scipio but
he prefers being called The Thief Lord. I would recommend
this book to people who enjoy suspense and adventure.

Prosper
and Bo are orphans who are running away from their beyond bad
aunt and uncle. Prosper and Bo are brothers. They decide to hide
out in Venice, Italy. Venice is a mysterious city. They meet a
boy who calls himself the "Thief Lord." The Thief Lord
has a little gang who steals and does other little crimes. Prosper
and Bo join this family to their delight. If you read this book
keep in mind that the Thief Lord has secrets of his own…
I recommend this book to adventurous type of readers who like
action and mystery.

The Thief Lord is
about two orphan brothers named Prosper and Bo, who run away from their
evil aunt to live on the streets of Venice. Before they know it they
have teamed up with a secretive boy who calls himself "The Thief Lord"
and who lets them stay in a run- down movie theatre with a few other
orphans.
This
is really an amazing book because there are so many things going on at
once, but the author still makes it not too confusing.
