I remember listening to this book during the pandemic when audible was free for specific audiobooks, it was a book about a boy, who was homeless, he could do magic, I remember the starting was he stole a piece of bread using magic, and he has a friend on the streets, who was also homeless, then I remember there was a part where he is chased by some people and some man comes and saves him, then somehow I don't remember he ends up in a mansion, with his friend, something happens and through the book a sea witch is mentioned, and I think his uncle killed his parents and I think they were some type of explorers. A lot of stuff happens, at the end of the story, his friend leaves her family and her father asks for money, the boys friend was also a witch who is the caretaker and says that she reminds of her when she was small, and also they meet the people before and one of the girls can read minds, they end up in a candy shop, and there's something related to a butcher. I literally need to finish this series of books, please help.
