Recomendation: The Thief Lord is a great book fro all ages, there is a lot of fun and adventure. It's a famous fantasy novel with a target audience for children but still keeps adults amused.

Summary: When prosper and Bo's parents died they were sent to live with their Aunt and Uncle. There was only one problem, tehy only wanted Bo, and tehy didnt want Prosper. Prosper knew that hew ould be sent off to boarding school, leaving his younger brother with his Aunt Esther, so he and Bo ran away to Venice, Italy, the enchanting city his mother had told them so many tales of, unfortunately, Venice was not exactly the wonderland that Prosper and Bo were expecting. But soon they meet The Thief Lord. The Thief Lord was very clever and charming, but no one knew who he really was and all of teh children feared him a little bit. Prosper worried that Bo idolized him too much and would turn to a life of crime but they had no wehre else to go. But when The Thief Lord accepts a job from the mysterious Duke Prosper fins himself thrust into a magical adventure full of suprises and discovers more about The Thief Lord.

Explanation of Rating: I would give this book 4 stars. I really enjoyed reading it, there was never a dull moment and it really connects you with teh characters in the book, its shows that tehse kkids really had to learn to grow up even though tehy weren't ready for it. I thinkt that everyone can relate to having to grow up even though they might not be ready for it yet.

Favorite Passage: I love when Bo says: Prop's very brave and im good at cheering him up, so we make a good team.

I love this passage because Bo looks up to Prosper so much and they really do make a great team.
