I tried to respond to another individual's response, but it didn't like that idea! So I'm responding here! I agree with the child vs. adult comment. The children in the novel definitely took on the role of adult especially Mosca, Riccio, Prosper and Hornet. They took on the responsibilities that most adults would have at young ages. Barbarossa on the other hand took on a childlike persona by his interest in antiques as playthings. It didn't surprise me with the switch because the characters were able to reflect their true selves through the switch. This book was so amazing!!! I was extremely impressed!

I agree with Rachel that the roles were switched with the characters. Prosper, like I mentioned before, is a very strong character and plays many adult roles. I also agree that Barbarossa, red beard, plays the child roles while using his antiques as "toys," which truly describes his maturity level. I loved the book! A truly great read!
