Storm Thief

Storm Thief is by Chris Wooding. Rail and Moa are thieves in a futuristic city in chaos. Orokos is an island that is inescapable and lashed by probability storms that can change whatever they touch. A probability storm can move streets, rearrange city blocks, move rivers, turn people to glass, make them disappear, or simply kill them. Rail lives with a respirator due to a probability storm years before that took away his ability to breathe freely; but that hasn't slowed him down at all. When he and Moa steal a centuries old artifact, that is wanted by the queen of thieves and the rulers of the city as well, they must unlock its secrets. But doing so could change Orokos forever.

Ratings: 7th grade - 8 out of 10.
