Title: The Thief Lord
Author:Cornelia Funke

Prompt:What do you think will happen next?

In the few pages that I read this week so far there has been a lot. In the book these group of homeless kids take a job. That was given to them by the Conte who wants them to steal a lion wing for them. This is hard for the kids because even though some of them pretend they have stolen thing from houses, and pick pocket people. None of them have actually stolen from a house. When they decide to take the job, they take every precaution when ran sacking the house.

While they are in the house they think they are being as quite as possible. Little did they know the old lady that lived in the house was awaking and already going for her gun. When the children finally find the wing of the lion the old lady stops them with her gun. Till she notices they are just children. That is when she puts down the gun and starts talking to them about the story of the wing. The story goes that once a rich man gave and orphanage a carrousel with wonderful animals and pictures. After the carrousel was put in the orphanage strange things started to happen. Grown people started to turn into young children and young children started to turn into grown people. This started to go around till someone stole the carrousel. After the story the children ask if they could have the wing, but the old woman doesn't agree. Until they make her an offer that they will let her come along to see.

What I think will happen next is that the old woman will go with the children to meet the Conte. After they meet the Conte I believe in his house they will see that he will have the carrousel. When the Conte starts to ride the carrousel believing that it will turn him into a child he will find out that it didn't work. In reality it did work but it will turn him into a child from his heart not his body. The children will also find out that they were turned into older people by taking the Conte's job

  1. Real good blog this week, it does sound like a lot is going on. I like how you describe the situations and show why the characters did what they did. I also like how you add what you think will happen.
