The Thief Lord

    The Thief Lord

       BW.

Cornelia Funke has written another great book, The Thief Lord. The Thief Lord is a book about a group of thieves that are just kids. The main characters are Prosper and Bo. Bo is five years old and Prosper is twelve years old. This book is full of action, adventure, and suspense.

Throughout the book, Cornelia Funke has created great characters in this great book. Bo is an attention hog who loves cameras.

Bo made a face. He tried to hop a around an orange he’d seen on the ground, but he stumbled and crashed into a group of Japanese tourists. Startled, he scrambled up again, only to start smiling as soon as he saw that two of the women were pointing their cameras at him. But before they could take their pictures, Prosper was already dragging his brother away by the collar.

Then there is Prosper who hates stealing but he knows that it is what he has to do to stay alive on his own.

    “We showed him, all right!” Hornet said, once they were all safely back in the hideout. She had a deep scratch on her cheek and her cardigan was missing two buttons. But she was grinning ear to ear. “And look what I got in all the commotion.” Proudly, she produced Victor’s wallet from her jacket. She flung it over to Prosper. “Don’t get angry with me. Perhaps now you can find out more about this guy.”

    I realized that when I am really into a book I can’t stop reading it and that was the case with this book. This book hooked me and I hope it will do that to you too. This book has so much suspense and I guess that is why I liked it.

    The Thief Lord is a great story about trust, friendship, and forgiveness. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventure, action, and suspense. I would rate this book a 10/10! That is how much I liked it.
