THE CHILD THIEF - BROM KARTONIERT (TB)

Peter is quick  daring  and full of mischief—and like all boys  he loves to play  though his
games often end in blood. His eyes are sparkling gold  and when he graces you with his smile
you are his friend for life  but his promised land is not Neverland. Fourteen-year-old Nick
would have been murdered by the drug dealers preying on his family had Peter not saved him. Now
the irresistibly charismatic wild boy wants Nick to follow him to a secret place of great
adventure  where magic is alive and you never grow old. Even though he is wary of Peter's crazy
talk of faeries and monsters  Nick agrees. After all  New York City is no longer safe for him 
and what more could he possibly lose? There is always more to lose. Accompanying Peter to a
gray and ravished island that was once a lush  enchanted paradise  Nick finds himself
unwittingly recruited for a war that has raged for centuries—one where he must learn to fight
or die among the "Devils " Peter's savage tribe of lost and stolen children. There  Peter's
dark past is revealed: left to wolves as an infant  despised and hunted  Peter moves restlessly
between the worlds of faerie and man. The Child Thief is a leader of bloodthirsty children  a
brave friend  and a creature driven to do whatever he must to stop the "Flesh-eaters" and save
the last  wild magic in this dying land.
