Two orphaned children are on the run, hiding among the crumbling canals and misty alleyways of the city. 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.
Wonderful. An exciting and richly atmospheric thriller told in the best storytelling tradition by a bestselling international children’s author.
"My enjoyment of Thief Lord grew and grew as I read it ... and I loved the offbeat ending." –Diana Wynne Jones.
