«Le voleur de magie» is the young adult fantasy novel by Sarah Prineas, published by Gallimard jeunesse in paperback (336 pages, in French).
Conny is a young thief who, on a foggy night, steals the locus magicalicus, a gem belonging to the wizard Nihil Fugaçious. Instead of punishing him, the wizard takes him on as an apprentice; meanwhile, strange events unsettle the city of Wellmet, and perhaps Conny is connected. A fantasy adventure with magic and mystery.
First installment of the Magic Thief series. The French translation is by Jean Esch and the illustrations by Antonio Javier Caparo. The work was originally published in English as The Magic Thief in 2008.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12, especially those who enjoy stories of magic, fantasy and adventure.
