The Thief Lord, written by Cornelia Funk was a book I highly enjoyed. This book was about two brothers who are orphans. Bo, the younger one of the two was supposed to be adopted by his mean aunt. Though she only wanted Bo and not Prosper, the older one. Prosper has so much hatred towards his aunt that they decided to run away to Venice. In Venice they met a group of street kids who were also orphans. They lived in a deserted cinema and were a total of six. They had one leader who named himself 'The Thief Lord' who stole things for them so they could sell it and have enough money to survive. Though is this suspicious leader really who he says he is? I would put this book under the genre of mystery and would rate it 4/5. I highly recommended and I enjoyed reading it a lot. (Enya, Grade 6)

The thief lord.

The book was 347 pages and, in my opinion, fits best into the genre of mystery. However, in the first 100 pages it seemed more like an adventurous book, which I don't like as much. That's why the first part of the book was a bit boring for me. The last 50 pages to me were the most interesting and the most fun to read.

The story is about a group of kids. Two of them ran away from their aunt and uncle, who had sent a detective to look for those kids. Throughout the whole book there is a lot happening at the same time. Especially in the middle and ending of the book. in my opinion, that makes it a bit hard to follow. That's why I recommend reading a lot at a time and not rushing it. Overall, I really liked this book and would recommend it to all of my classmates. (Emma, Grade 7)
