What i really appreciate in this book is "Very less Characters", compared to some other fantasy books. Conn, who lives on the streets and is a thief accidentally steals from a wizard. A wizard, who is the best among his profession. And Conn begins his journey to be a wizard.
Magic thief tells a tale of a thief who wants to be a wizard and who catches another thief who wants to steal magic from the city.. Magic lives in the city u see!!
First in the series, this book somewhat resembles the InkWorld series, but lots of magic and i loved the world described here :)

Very quaint. Catches attention, and is extremely (but attractively) childish.

This is a great book! Very clever, great characters - I couldn't put it down and now I must run to the library for the second one!
My family listened to the audio version of The Magic Thief. It was a good introduction to magical books for my six year-old, and it was interesting enough to keep my husband and me engaged. At the requests of my son, we have jumped right in to the sequel, Lost.
an amazing, heartfelt story. Try the next book in the series! [book cover:Lost|6565862]
Interesting and imaginative enough. I think kids would probably like this more than I did, making for a good "If you liked Harry Potter, then try this..." suggestion. Right from the start, author Prineas plunges the reader into the the action. Conn should have died when he tried to steal a wizard's locus magicalicus (it's a shame that's so awkward to read/sound out since it's a mentioned repeatedly as a main component of the story). He instead becomes the wizard's apprentice in search of his own locs magicalucus. The alternating voices of Nevery the wizard and Conn are distinct and give a rounded out feel to the story--it's nice to hear both sides, despite how dislikeable it makes Nevery. (Dumbledore he is not.) Rather anticlimatic, but don't worry--it's the first in a trilogy.
