Who wants to read an astonishing book about a thief who lived in the streets but then became a great wizard’s apprentice. This book has more excitement in it than you can fit gallons of water in a bathtub. I know for sure that you will enjoy this book.
This story starts when a thief, Connwaer, tries to steal the magical stone, called a locus magicalicus, from a great wizard named Nevery. At first, the locus stone almost kills Connwaer, but eventually he becomes Nevery’s apprentice. The other wizards, called magisters, do not approve of Connwaer but one of them, Brumbee thinks they should give him one chance. They give him thirty days to find a locus magicalicus of his own. On the thirtieth day, Connwaer finds his own and is able to stay as Nevery’s apprentice, and learns how to be a better wizard. Connwaer helps Nevery try to save the city of Wellmet from losing all of its magic.
If you read this book and don’t like it, you weren’t paying attention. I loved reading about Conn and Nevery. In fact, this is now my favorite book. I guarantee that after you read it you’ll beg your parents for the next one in the series. That one is titled The Magic Thief: Lost.
I love this book! When I read it, I couldn't stop smiling. I would recomend this book to anyone. I can't wait to read The Magic Theif:Lost. Just read the book!!!!!!!!!!!

The book The Magic Thief is a awesome book with action, adventure, and magic. I think that The Magic Theif is an awesome book. In the book Connwaer has to save Wellmet's magicand become a wizard. It was a great book.

THE Magic Thief was an awesome fantasy. It was probably one of the best fantasies I have ever read. Fans of of the Harry Potter series would enjoy this book. The boys name is Conn in the story. He picks pockets for peoples money. But when he picked a wizards pocket the wizard took him and offered to teach him magic. So together Conn and his new master do magic and have an epic adventure.
