Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the younger orphan who escaped from his aunt's clutches to Venice?

Answer: Bo

He was a cute boy with blond hair like an angel and always got photographed by tourists. He escaped with his brother Prosper because their aunt wanted to adopt Bo but not Prosper and decided to put Prosper in a boarding school.

2. What did Bo call the thief lord?

Answer: Scip

Only Bo can call the thief lord Scip without getting an icy stare in response.

3. What did Counte want Scipio to steal?

Answer: a broken wing

Scipio was surprised the Counte wanted him to steal such a cheap thing but actually, the wing is magical.

4. What was the name of the girl who like to read books in Scipio's gang?

Answer: Hornet

She has many books on her mattress and she reads out loud to the other members of the gang.

5. Where does the gang hide?

Answer: an abandoned theater

Scipio told Bo that the theatre is called the Star-Palace. This is Scipio's father's property, and he stole it from his father.

6. What does the merry-go-round do?

Answer: Change your age

The merry-go-round contains a lion, unicorn, mermaid, merman and sea horse. Scipio used it to make him grow older and many people mistook him for his father.

7. What was the name of the buyer who buys all the things Scipio steals?

Answer: Barbarossa

He always sell the items in a much higher price than that he paid for it. Riccio and Prosper sell their loot here because Barbarossa doesn't ask many questions about the items. Also, he has a red beard, which earns him the nickname Redbeard.

8. What was the name of Prosper and Bo's aunt?

Answer: Esther

She was a sour-faced woman and had a pointy nose. She captured Bo but he behaved so badly that when he escaped, Esther didn't care.

9. What did baby Barbarossa tell others to call him when he was in boarding school?

Answer: The Thief Lord

Barbarossa bullied the others and made them work for him and even encouraged them to steal. Really, Barbarossa is mean in all forms, whether young or old!

10. Where did the grown-up Scipio work?

Answer: In Victor's detective agency

He named himself Scipio Fortunato and Victor added his name on the nameplate. Also, Riccio and Mosca lived in an abandoned warehouse, Mosco working for a fisherman and Riccio probably stealing. Hornet, Prosper and Bo lived happily at Ida's house. This is a very nice ending, isn't it?
