Thief! is one of my favourite books and is also one of those books that is impossible to put down. It is about a girl called Lydia who ends up in several very tricky situations, some in her current everyday life but others far in the future.

Lydia is quite happy, she has just moved down from London to a small town called Tarwich and she has already made a friend but then she is accused of a theft that she did not commit. Suddenly her life turns upside down and everywhere she looks people are pointing at her and chanting THIEF. All she wants to do is hide in humiliation and only her 10 year old brother, Danny, really understands how she feels.

One day there is an accident involving her friend and a misunderstanding, Lydia cannot take it anymore and tries to run away but is caught in a freak storm and the next thing she knows she is in the future and the whole future is based around her.

I love this book because with each page something unexpected happens and the idea of the future is really inventive. With each sentence you are transported into the mystical world of the future. In my opinion I find it is hard to believe the future could change so much in 50 years.

Overall I think this is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy books.
