In a city that runs on a dwindling supply of magic, a young boy is drawn into a life of wizardry and adventure. Conn should have dropped dead the day he picked Nevery's pocket and touched the wizard's locus magicalicus, a stone used to focus magic and work spells. But for some reason he did not. Nevery finds that interesting, and he takes Conn as his apprentice on the provision that the boy find a locus stone of his own. But Conn has little time to search for his stone between wizard lessons and helping Nevery discover who—or what—is stealing the city of Wellmet's magic.

Magic Thief is a good book. Conn does not know that he is an apprentice until he tries to steal Neverys locus magicalicus. Now if you touch a locus magicalicus it is suppose to kill you, but for some reason it did not kill Conn. Nevery finds that interesting, sooner or later Conn started to be Neverys helper until he has to try and fins his own magicalicus. Will he ever find his magiclicus? Read Magic Thief and find out!

I love the book because i love fantasy and the fact that Conn was a thief that one day a strange man that looked like he had a strange thing in his pocket then Conn took it and then a strange thing happen then he found out he has to save the magic of Wellment that is something else i like about the book so meany Clive hanger.

The Magic Thief is a thrilling book that will have you looking in every library for the next book in the series. It has cliffhangers that will leave you wanting to read more. like when conn really what to be neverys apprentice but he needs to find his locus magicalicus but only has 30 days and finding it gets him in a lat of trouble. To find out what happens read on bealive me you will not be disaponted.

I love the book becuase of how exciting it is I also love how its a fantasy series. My favorite charactars are Nevery, Conware and Benet. The main settings are Wellmet, Twilight, Heartsease these are most of the places they visit in the book. I think you will like ths book becuase it is a book with lots of action and exitment in it.

This book is perfect for all grades. This book is the first book in the series. Connwear is a young thief that lived in the streets of Welmet before he meet Nevery. Nervery is a wizard and the only way to use magic is by a stone called a locusmagicalicus,and every wizard needs one in order to use the magic of Welmet. But Connwear notices the magic is getting weaker. Well Connwear be able to save the magic?

I think that magic thief is a good book Conn and Nevery are the main characters this book is a fantasy book The Magic thief has series to Conn is a thief/ a apprentice Nevery is a wizard/ an old man the setting is In The twilight, Wellmet, and Heartsease. Will Conn find his locus Magicalicus? I CHALLENGE YOU to read this book!!!! hurry before they spoil it.'
