Well, Scipio is certainly a great character, but I have to say that Prosper is the better (and happier) person. His actions are all motivated by his concern for Bo, whereas Scipio is pretty self-centered. The book is largely from Prosper's perspective, so we get to see his emotions a lot еще than Scipio's. He needs to steal, but doesn't like to, whereas Scipio doesn't need to steal and does anyway (from his parents). Scipio lies to his Друзья etc. As well, Scipio may have a very impressive persona as the Thief Lord, but it's largely an act used to vent his feelings against his father. Prosper is only twelve, but he gets Bo all the way from Hamburg to Venice without being caught, feeds his brother, and teaches himself Italian (which he speaks unrealistically well) in only a few weeks. Now that's impressive!
