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.

I recommend this book to everyone in all grades.It is full of suspense and mysteries. Connwear (conn),is a young thief in the city of Welmet. When he attempts to steal from a wizard and is nearly killed, he has something special about him that gets him caught up into a whole other world of not just thievery,...but magic. As he meets other wizards, students and CREATURES he comes up against a problem....someone is stealing the magic. Is this a human being,does it speak, is this THING alive. Read this book to find out.

The Magic thief is about a young boy named Connawaer and his adventures in wellmet. This is a great book because it has a lot of cliff hangers and intriguing events. I would totally recommend this book if you like fantasy and if you don't like this genre then maybe you should just give it a try.
