Publisher Description

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."

    " This was my favorite of the series thus far. This is turning into quite the magical world with several little intricacies that keep tying it together. It's refreshing to see a series that improves as it goes on and I hope it continues. "

    " Conn now understands the dark shadows. After his time in Desh, he realizes that the magic of Wellmet is in danger. Even though he has been exiled, he returns to Wellmet to help. It doesn't go well for Conn. He goes on a quest to find his locus stone, but when he returns to Wellmet.... the city really needs his help, but at what cost to Conn? Will they accept help for a gutterboy sentenced to be executed? "

    " In this book there is a lot creative make believe things like a wizard had to find a locus stone that all wizards have. Also magic are dragons transformed into cities. A magic is a threat to another magic being in this book and a boy name Connwaer have to save the magis being in his city. "

    " I really liked the book until the end. I didn't like the wrap-up. I didn't buy a number of the explanations, and I wanted a couple more things to happen before the story ended. Last I looked, this is the end of the story, but I'm still hoping for more. Another book could save the series for me. "
