The Thief Lord, by Cornelia Funke, is a short but charming book about two brothers, Prosper and Bo, who flee their hated Aunt Ester and escape to Venice. They then find themselves swept up into a small group of children living in a movie theater. The so-called "Thief Lord" is the leader of the group, and they all admire him very much until Prosper and Bo unknowingly reveal a dark secret.
The Thief Lord if full of multi-dimensional characters, a strong plot, lyrical writing, and an unusual twist on fantasy literature. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone seeking a fast and fun read.
