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.

Conn and Nevery are trying to solve a problem that is happening in Wellmet and they don't know what is happening to the magic. (Read more if you want to know what is gonna happen next ) :)

Magic thief is a good because it is a fantasy book and it has a lot of details. It is a series. The main characters are Conn and Nevery. Conn is a boy and Nevery is a wizard. Conn becomes Nevery's apprentice. I loved this book!

this is a good book

This is a really cool book about magic and wizards and thievery and i could go on and on but i won't. Conn, a homeless "street rat" steals locus stone from a wizard's pocket. The wizard, Nevery, finds him and makes Conn his apprentice, on one condition: he must find a locus stone of his own, while trying to find out who is stealing his city's dwindling supply of magic.

this book is really good and at the end of some chapters Sarah left some cliffhangers to keep us reading this book like conn trying to find his locus magicalicus and stuff like that.

Magic Thief was probably one of the best books I have ever read. Conn and Nevery are some of my favorite characters I have ever read about. The story is kind of fast but Sarah Prineas makes up for it by making the story of one of the best story's I would HILLY Recommend it
