The Theif Lord

The Thief Lord. Its a good book. I liked it. No I'm kidding you probably just had a heart attack. OK but really this is a great book. To start with, the whole story takes place in Venice which is pretty awesome. The story revolves around two brothers who have run away from their aunt to live in Venice. The brothers are twelve and five and have been taken in by a small group of runaway children. The leader of their contraband goes by the name "Thief Lord.''He supposedly steals things so that the band of thieves can get by.
The love between the two brothers is what i think shines the brightest in this book. Prosper, the eldest of the two brothers, Bo being the youngest, have always loved each other more than anything. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!. Helpless little Bo is stolen from Prosper by his aunt, who was part of the reason the two ran away in the first place. Prosper is so devastated that Bo is gone that not even his bestie Hornet can cheer him up. The thing is with those two is that they don't have a whole lot they can hold near and dear to them. The only thing that they really have is each other. So to have that to be taken from them is well, you can imagine how that might feel. People now a days take their family for granted, but if your someone like Prosper or Bo, who have only had each other since birth, you don't take that kind of thing for granted.
Anyway, sorry that was so depressing but on the bright side, something great happens at the end! But ill leave you to find out for yourself. ;) I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who likes action adventure fantasy type books. Have fun reading!
