About this listen
Prosper and Bo are orphans on the run from their cruel aunt and uncle. The brothers decide to hide out in Venice, where they meet a mysterious thirteen-year-old boy who calls himself the "Thief Lord." Brilliant and charismatic, the Thief Lord leads a ring of street children who dabble in petty crimes. Prosper and Bo delight in being part of this colorful new family. But the Thief Lord has secrets of his own. And soon the boys are thrust into circumstances that will lead them to a fantastic, spellbinding conclusion.

I absolutely love this book! It is one of my favourites! If you want an exciting story with interesting characters, then you will love this! But even better is the way it is written. The way the author pulls you deep into the story; it’s like you can literally imagine yourself in the alleys of Venice where this book takes place. She paints the story for you so that you can feel every emotion and smell every smell and see every sight! The narrator brings all of this to life by his crisp pronunciation and subtle changes in his voice for each character. Extremely well done and an utter pleasure to listen to!

Fantastic.
One of my favourite books from my childhood, decided to listen to it now that I'm 25 with a child of my own - and I loved it just as much now as I did then. The narrator was perfect for this story.

Very enjoyable!
A very enjoyable tale that takes you far away and hits close to home at the same time.
