I recommend The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke.

This book is for someone who is looking for a book with a lot of surprises. The reader just never knows what is coming next.

I suggest you read it because it is about five kids surviving on their own until a little surprise changes everything.

A part of the book that shows this is when they find out they have a snoop or a detective after them.

I think the reason the author wrote this book was to grab young readers' attention and open their imaginations.

One interesting sentence from this book that demonstrates the author's style of writing is: "A water rat scuttled away as the children felt their way along the narrow passage."

I give this book on a scale of 1-5 (five being one of the best books I have ever read) a 4.

Three words that describe the book are: interesting, surprising, keeps-you-wondering
