What The Thief Lord is

This children’s adventure trades plucky orphans for Venetian canals and a thief with a flair for the dramatic. Two brothers hide in plain sight among waterways and old theaters, supported by a gang of young crooks and their strangely charming ringleader. When a bumbling detective starts poking around and a time-spinning treasure unexpectedly surfaces, suddenly their gimmicks have real consequences.
