Author:Cornelia Funke



This story is about a boy named Thief lord who leads a group of kids that have escaped from their house or from somewhere and escaped to Venice and Prosper and Bo. Prosper is Bo's brother. After Prosper and Bo have escaped from their aunt Ester and went to Venice, they found the Thief lord. Each night, the Thief lord welcomed them into an abandoned movie theater with the rest of his followers. Every night, the thief lord would go out stealing things and sometimes sell items he have stolen to the scrap material vendor. The scrap material vendor's name is Babarossa.
He is the only one who does business with Thief Lord. While that, Ester went to Venice and to a detective named Victor. She assigned him on a mission to find the 2 brothers. Then the thief lord was assigned on a mission to steal a wooden wing. They had to get to a famous basilica to meet the Conte first before proceeding. Victor also suspected going there first because everybody in Venice has to at least walk past the basilica once a day. He finally Victor met Bo and had a short conversation with him while some of the others went to see the Conte. Victor had a short conversation with Bo. The information he got from Bo was that they lived in an old abandoned theater. The next day, Victor found a phone book and called every theater and in Venice. Then he went to see the owner of a theater that didn't answer the phone. The owner's name was Dottor Massimo. Victor lied to him that he was a person who works in the newspaper and will talk about the theater. Then he saw the thief lord walk past him. Luckily, Dottor Massimo had guests and had a meeting with them so Victor had a chance to follow him to the hideout. The thief lord went back to the hideout, he warned the others about Victor. Then they st up a trap and kept Victor as a prisoner. When the thief lord and his followers were gone, Victor escaped and left a letter saying that he will not tell anyone about it. The next night, the thief lord and his followers went to steal the wing but was caught by the owner of the house and made a deal with her.While the mission, they found out that the thief's lord real nickname was Scipio and he was from a rich familly and is Dottor Massimo's son. The owner of the house's name was Ida. The deal was she taking them there and then she will track the Conte down and find a legendary merry-go-round which could change your age. On the next night, the pack went to an island and found the Conte waiting. They exchanged the treasure with money. Then they went to the boat and secretly followed to the Conte's Island. Then they wennt back home. Victor went back and slept at his apartment while the other's slept in Ida's house. Next morning, Victor looked at there loot and saw that it was fake money.On that night , Scipio and Prosper went out to the Island and got caught by the Conte and his assistant. They were caught there for just one night and then they set him out and let then go on the ride. Scipio went first and then after that, Babarossa came. He went on the ride and he broke and he was punished. Before he was punished, the group thought of that they might just let Ester adopt him. And it did happened. Then 2 of Scipio's followers named Riccio and Prosper went to live in another abandoned theater and the rest lived in Ida house exept for Victor. Then later on, Scipio asked Victor to train him to be a detective like VIctor and he did.

I like this book very much because it talks abot Venice and I never went to Venice before. I like it also because it is adventerous and exicting and it contains a lot of hard words with it.

I would recommend someone in the class room who like reading like me and likes to learn.
