The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke


Book Recommended by Carl B.

Grayson Branch

The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke is an amazing tale with many twists and turns leading to a surprising ending. Prosper and Bo are two orphans who are running away from their aunt who wants to adopt one brother but not the other. Together they meet up with a group of orphans who are being lead by a boy named the Thief Lord. The Thief Lord is soon offered a job to find a wooden wing that belongs to a broken down, magical merry-go-round that supposedly can make kids into adults and adults into children. Along the way the kids encounter troubling circumstances that could tear not only the brothers apart, but the whole group itself. These events even include a betrayal by the Thief Lord himself. Cornelia Funke’s book is a magical stunning read that will captivate the audience until the very last page.
