the child thief. best damn book on the planet. so fucking awesome. all i can really say without giving away too much of the story is, it's peter pan, but a shit load more darker. peter goes around stealing children who are run aways for reasons like abusive parents, drugs, molestation etc. because they have nowhere to go, he offers them avalon. a place of wonder and magic. he gains their trust, and gets them to follow him, thinking it's only a game. but once they arrive, they can't really go back. once there, peter trains them to become devils(his tribe name) to fight a war against the flesh eaters(pilgrims from europe heading to america having been twisted by the magic on the island). it's an amazing book and i loved every page of it. i finished it in three days cause i just couldn't put it down
