Narration As Books The Thief Lord

Two orphaned children are on the run, hiding among the crumbling canals and misty alleyways of the city of Venice.

Befriended by a gang of street children and their mysterious leader, the Thief Lord, they shelter in an old, disused cinema. On their trail is a bungling detective, obsessed with disguises and the health of his pet tortoises. But a greater threat to the boys' new-found freedom is something from a forgotten past – a beautiful magical treasure with the power to spin time itself.

In 2019, I vowed to reread more of my childhood books. I find it interesting to look back and reflect on the stories that impacted my life 10, heck even 15, years ago. Many of these reads turn out to be very nostalgic as I remember more and more as the story moves along. Sometimes I even discover a bookmark or a note of others sorts in the book and am reminded of how different of a reader I used to be. Unfortunately, my reread of Herr der Diebe (The Thief Lord) by my favourite childhood author

Twelve-year-old Prosper and his little brother, Bo (short for Boniface), live with their friends in an abandoned movie theater deep in Venice. The brothers are fleeing from an uncaring aunt who would keep Bo at her side like a lapdog and send Prosper to a faraway boarding school. Their roommatesHornet, Mosca, and Riccio,are homeless kids with nowhere else to go. They survive by stealing food and picking pockets.The leader of their little group is named Scipio.

I really wanted to love this book. I have been to Venice multiple times and I loved the "boxcar children" feel to the story. However, the ending really killed it for me. The thief lord was not a thief at all, but a bored rich kid who just brought crap from his house. To make matters worse, the bored lonely rich kid wanted to be an adult, so he jumped on a magical carousel and became a man. Like what the heck? This could have been a favorite of mine but the ending sucked. Do not bother reading
