zbmorgan 's review for:

The Magic Thief by Sarah Prineas, Antonio Javier Caparo
4.0

This tale of a pickpocket who becomes an apprentice to a gruff and suspicious wizard is an absolute delight. Terrific for lovers of Harry Potter with enough character development for girls and enough adventure for boys. This story starts a bit slowly, but rockets to a page turning conclusion. Best of all? It's the first in a series, but the ending doesn't scream 'buy the next book'. Satisfying enough to stand alone.
