Synopsis

The Magic Thief: Found, the third book in Sarah Prineas’s acclaimed middle grade fantasy series, finds wizard’s apprentice Conn on the run! Sneaking out of prison isn't easy, unless you are a thief, or a wizard. Luckily, Conn is both! Trouble is, once he's out, where does he go? His home is a pile of rubble since he blew it up doing magic. His master, the wizard Nevery, is not happy with him. Worst of all, Conn's been exiled, and staying in the city will mean his death.But Wellmet is in danger from an evil predator coming to destroy the city, and Conn must set off on a quest to fight it. Suddenly, a huge shadow looms over him and he is swept away by something more awesome than his wildest imaginings. Is Conn brave enough to answer magic's call, or is he really just a thief at heart?Sarah Prineas's incredible world explodes with adventure—a place where cities run on living magic and heroes come from the most surprising places. Diana Wynne Jones, author of Howl's Moving Castle, praised this middle grade fantasy series filled with magic and wonder, saying of the first book: ""I couldn't put it down. Wonderful, exciting stuff.""

Goodreads review by Hallie

From an LJ post: Then I went off to my bed and the rest of The Magic Thief: Found, which was just wonderful.

And the development in thi......more

Goodreads review by Haddayr

What I really liked best about this book and all the books was the voice. Conn has a strong presence. I also liked how he just refuses to go along with what he is told and he finds his own way. My son LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. As I read it, his eyes grew bigger and bigger as he dramatically clutc......more

Goodreads review by Karen

Um, I wanted to like this book, but there were just so many problems. The author borrows so much so completely, none of it feels very fresh or clever. First, Nevery was a bit of a Merlin from Sword in the Stone, then he transformed into a grumpy Dumbledore, then the series suddenly became How to Tra......more
