The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti

4.0

This grim, but accessible book paints quite a bleak picture of an 11 year old's 19th century New England. Picked from the orphange he grew up in by a con-man claiming to be his brother, Ren gets involved in stealing and (eek!) grave-robbing. With great characterization, humorous moments, twisting plot, and an overall macabre tone, this was a great follow up to reading Neil Gaiman's [b:The Graveyard Book|2213661|The Graveyard Book|Neil Gaiman|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mo4YSDB-L._SL75_.jpg|2219449].
