On the Jacket Welcome to the magical underworld of Venice, Italy where hidden canals and crumbling rooftops shelter runaways and children with incredible secrets... Prosper and Bo are orphans on the run from their cruel aunt and uncle. The brothers decide to hide out in Venice, where they meet a mysterious thirteen-year-old boy who calls himself the "Thief Lord." Brilliant and charismatic, the Thief Lord leads a ring of street children who dabble in petty crimes. Prosper and Bo delight in being part of this colorful new family. But the Thief Lord has secrets of his own. And soon the boys are thrust into circumstances that will lead them, and readers, to a fantastic, spellbinding conclusion. About the Author Cornelia Funke is a best-selling author and the third most popular children's book writer in Germany after J.K. Rowling and R.L. Stine. The Thief Lord won several European children's literature awards, including the Zurich Children's Book Award (2000) and the Children's Book Award from the Vienna House of Literature (2001).

Enter the magical city of Venice Reviewer: Louis from Ottawa Date: 12/3/2002 2:22:04 PM Imagine your mother died and your old, mean, bossy, selfish, nasty - and some words I wouldn’t be able to write down on this paper - aunt wanted to adopt you. You run away to Venice, Italy, the wonderful and magical city where there are hidden canals, narrow alleyways and where, at night, winged lions guard over the city from the roof tops. You live in an abandoned movie theater with several other street kids, and the only one to look after you was your older brother. Oh, yeah, did I mention you were only five? The Thief Lord is about two brothers: Prosper, age twelve, and Bo (Boniface) - believe it or not - age five. Their mother dies and their mean aunt wants to adopt Bo, but not Prosper. So they run away to Venice, Italy, the wonderful and magical city their mother always told them about. Once there, they meet Hornet (Caterina), a street kid who brings them to an abandoned movie theatre, where they meet two other street kids, Riccio and Mosca.
