The Thief Lord
Cornelia Funke
The Author
The Plot
Characters
Prosper & Bo
These two take most of the story being the most recent runaways in the Star Palace orphan group. They've taken an unfortunate custody and treat it as best as they know how. They love their new lives in venice and became a part of the family with their new friends.
Detective Victor Getz
I'd relate detective Getz to the detective in the pink panther series. All you should really know about him is that he's a very clumsy, narrow minded, and nifty guy who's not at all like some Sherlock Holmes.
The Thief Lord (Succio)
Succio is a kind and knowledgable soul who takes the lead role in the Star Palace gang. He creates and plays a very discreet character leaving behind his true self and other secrets.
