League of Thieves is a children's work by Colin Meloy. Charlie in the article is a child abandoned by his mother. He lives a high-class life in France with his diplomat father, but he is very lonely inside.

0 1 aristocratic life

Charlie has no worries about food and clothing, has a tutor to teach, and can also attend various aristocratic parties. To outsiders, this is a very glamorous life, but he especially yearns for a different life.

His parents are divorced and he often flies around with his diplomat father. He moves a lot and has no friends. Even if he goes to the party, all he sees is a group of spoiled children. Those well-dressed princes always look at the ceiling with pride and have no room for others. And those beautiful princesses are always comparing their jewels, which makes Charlie unable to blend in. Charlie is like a clown out of place, always quietly watching others busy and getting lonely inside.

Walk into a trap

Charlie was alone in the street observing pedestrians and making up his own story. His pen was stolen by Amir, and he didn't find it lost until the police started chasing Amir. But he was very interested in the thief's tactics and lied in front of the police.

From then on, Charlie entered Michelle's life circle. Charlie learned to steal from Amir, believed in the so-called rule of stealing only from the rich, and was excited after his success. Charlie didn't realize that stealing was a sin, but he found it exciting. He is curious about this kind of life and is eager to join the "thieves' league".

In order to join the "strange thief alliance", he practiced the seven-bell method and improved his theft technology. The performance at the equestrian field made Charlie ecstatic and worried the readers. What an embarrassing situation it would be if the children of such American diplomats were caught by the police.

Hunting again and again is near misses, which makes Charlie like this exciting adventure even more. He even practiced his hands on his father and moved his pocket watch from his right pocket to his left pocket. He is very proud of his performance.

Attending aristocratic parties and stealing money from the rich made him more excited, which was also the climax of the story. At the party, Charlie met his father and the queen. Worried that his friend would steal the queen's jewels, his friend stole the Rosenger code that his father had worked so hard to get. Charlie realized that he had fallen into a trap.
