Thief!

Product Information

The next thing you know, you're in the future. Being shot at for being out after curfew. You don't even recognise your hometown. And you're heading for a confrontation from your worst nightmare. I LOVES THIS BOOK SO MUCH, IT IS BRILLANT. The book it about a girl who just moved to a new town and begins a new school. she gets pressured to steal a trophy to be a part of a group. she gets framed and ends up running away. and goes to the future, where she sees her brother as the master of a town and is horrible to everyone, because of what happened to his sister. I guess it was too much to handle. One second Lydia is in a bus reconciling the previous events that had just happened and the next second she's being shot for going out past curfew time. You're the new girl in school. You're just trying to fit in - and it's not working. Then someone accuses you of theft, and you think things can't get any worse. Until you get caught in a freak storm . . . In give it 4 stars because it didn’t give some information about the parents when Lyidia went to the future. Because lyidia didn’t see her parents in the future. So did they die how? Or did they move away when?

The resistance says this themselves: Obviously a book aimed at children, so the dialogue and description is a little simple, but a fun story nonetheless which took a turn I didn’t see coming at all. A lot of characters will suddenly just know what’s going on; how exactly the time travel worked (particularly when Lydia meets Old Lydia). It wasn’t detrimental to the plot, or anything; it seems to have been done for convenience sake, to save lots of explaining. But feels rather lazy on the authors side. Thief!' centres around a character named Lydia who is labelled as a thief by a bully at her school. Lydia tries to escape the bullying and retreats to the moors near her home. Whilst walking through the moors Lydia is transported to the future and is met with a much changed, cruel world ruled by a familiar tyrant. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll stop there!

Anne told Lydia that everyone in the group had done this - including Frankie and Bharti. Frankie gives Lydia the cold shoulder (And Lydia does not assume this is because Lydia failed her task, but because Frankie thinks Lydia is a thief) and Bharti only believes Lydia because he likes to be contrary like that. Anne’s lie is obvious, no? Lydia is quite happy with her life; she has just moved down from London to a small town called Tarwich and has already made a friend but then she is blamed for a theft that she did not commit. Suddenly her life turns upside down and everywhere she looks people are pointing at her and shouting ‘THIEF!’. All she wants to do is hide in humiliation and only her 10-year-old brother, Danny, really understands how she feels. Isn’t that nice?Which means that out of a 100%, 100% loved this book. I must add that I've read this book twice, both in my fifteenth year of life. Which is two years ago. I dont have a copy, and have never stumbled upon it again in any library or bookshop. But I still remember all of the twists and major plot points. So I should be fine with this review. Hopefully. And finally, I just want to whinge about Lydia’s character...nothing wrong here, I just didn’t grow to like her much.

The main story is quite banal and it revolves around a stolen sports cup which the main character Lydia is framed for stealing. It presents some important themes such as friendship and trust, bullying at school, trying to fit in and peer pressure, even though these aren’t explored in as much depth as they could be.

High profile cases such as the horrific murder of Stephen Lawrence, as well as her own negative personal experiences, made her consider the issue of race. By this time she felt she had a comfortable platform and respect enough within the world of writing (as well as television) to contribute positively to a difficult subject. Noughts and Crosses on her journey she falls over to find herself in the future. Here she meets her future self and her future brother who own a town. They work together and make life very difficult for the residents that live there. when young Lydia finds out what her future self and brother have done, she decides to return to her time and change the future. Lydia had found someone like her: someone who loved comics and carrots, someone who hated everything with cabbage in it, and who thought that circus clowns were downright boring.”

Summary of Thief! by Malorie Blackman Detailed Review Summary of Thief! by Malorie Blackman

Thief" is not fantasy, per se, but has elements of the supernatural, if you will. The opening chapters are a reflection of true life, but then, as the story progresses, we see our protagonist travelling into the future (I hope that's not a spoiler!). Things really get interesting from there. REALLY. A children story that can only be enjoyed by the children is not a good children story in the slightest.” - C.S. Lewis I didn’t mind Lydia in this book, and the prose wasn’t great, but entirely tolerable, as long as you ignore all the exclamation points. Mike seems to be one of the reasonable people here; but his point of view on the matter is never explained? We never discover why he lies to the resistance about who Lydia is, though he’d have many reasons to, as established. But the two parts of the book somehow didn’t work together for me – I just found the combination a bit strange and implausible. Lydia didn’t need to go forward in time to prove that she was innocent and her trip felt a bit pointless (even though don’t get me wrong, it was the most interesting part of the book).

Time Travel: - largely forwards/future Time Travel story? - Yes Family relations - Yes Main Character Identity: - Female I chose this book as a step out of my comfort zone- I rarely read any sci fi related books- but I was pleasantly suprised.
