This was a fun book about a magical world.Conn con is a boy living on the streets until he meets a wizard who sees magic in him. He takes it upon himself as the chosen wizard apprentice to save the magic from being depleted from his world.he is a very likable character and you truly are cheering for him. I found the use of magic interesting in this book, and I definitely plan on reading some more books in the series.

A well-executed adventure with a wily and smart protagonist. A fun addition to the young adult wizarding genre.

Great fun! It took me a while to feel that way—the beginning was pretty slow and the writing felt very juvenile, but then the story really got going and it was a fun ride!

Ages 10 and up for comprehension though a strong 8 year old reader would find nothing too advanced.
A very light and fun introduction into a new trilogy featuring a likable rogue who discovers that not only is he a mage, he may also be the solution to the Duchy's problems.
A more junior read than Harry Potter, it's sure to resonate with the younger fantasy readers in your home (and possibly some of the older ones like me).
