The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke is about two children who have just lost their parents. The younger boy was about to be adapted to their aunt, but not the older boy. However, they didn’t like their aunt, so they run away to Venice. The aunt hires a detective to find the children. On the other hand, the children stay with the street kids and Scipio, who calls himself the thief lord.
The children get a request to steal a lost piece of a roundabout that can make you younger or older. While the other younger children stays in the safe place, Prosper and Scipio goes to the roundabout and Scipio gets older. At the end, the aunt adopts another child, and Prosper lives in another safe place.
This book is really interesting, and I think everyone should read it. Once you start it, you won't be able to put it back.
