The Theif Lord, by Cornelia Funke


Two homeless children, Prosper and Bo, go to Venice, Italy because their mom told them stories about Venice and they thought it would be an exciting adventure. When they arrive, life is difficult for them unitl they meet Scipio, the Theif Lord. He takes them to an old abandoned movie theater along with Hornet, Riccio, and other homeless children he has taken in. Scipio is the best theif in all of Venice. But when a mysterious count gives Scipio a mission, things get very dangerous.

I like this author's style of writing. She writes books that are full of adventure! Some of her other books are the Inkheart series, Dragon Rider, and the Ghosthunter series.
