The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner


The thief in this story is Gen. Gen has been plucked from prison to help steal a precious stone in a remote temple of the gods. There is plenty of action and suspense, great storytelling and surprising revelations in this first book of a trilogy. And the book is well written. For those of you interested in such things, the book was a 1997 Newbery Honor book.




The Thief is one of those books with wide appeal. Males and females from grades six through adult should enjoy it. Look here for the library's copy.
