Description
Two orphaned brothers, Prosper and Bo, have run away to Venice, where crumbling canals and misty alleyways shelter a secret community of street urchins. Leader of this motley crew of lost kids is a clever, charming boy with a gloomy history of his own: He calls himself the Thief Lord.
Propser and Bo relish their new “circle of relatives” and lifetime of petty crime. But their cruel aunt and a bumbling detective are on their path. And posing a good greater threat to the men’ freedom is one thing from a forgotten past: an attractive magical treasure with the ability to spin time itself.
