The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner*

Award-winner- 1997 Newbery Honor Book

In a wine shop Gen brags that he can steal anything and lands in prison for months.  Then the king's Magus promises Gen if he can steal an ancient treasure, Hamiathe's Gift, he will not have to return to prison.  The quest involves a dangerous journey into a potentially hostile country and an almost impossible mission.  But Gen vows that he can steal anything. . . .
A surprise ending!
Readers will appreciate Gen's humor and feistiness!
Book #1 in a six book series.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
Warning: swearing- gods d***, d***
