#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series comes to an electrifying conclusion...
...and it's about time if you ask me.
By "me" I of course mean me, Alcatraz Smedry. This is the last chapter of my autobiography, and was the hardest one for me to write. Because, in it—I'm not a hero. In fact, I'm the one who screwed everything up for everyone else.
First off, my Talent for breaking things got a little out of hand, and I ended up destroying everyone else's Talents. As in "anyone who was born with a Talent no longer has a Talent and might never get their Talent back"—and all because of a Talent of mine which I no longer have. Got it?
Even worse, my best friend Bastille (she's a girl, and a friend, but not really my girlfriend...I think?) was put in a coma by those Librarian slugs. So I owed them one for that.
And worse than worse, I needed to enter the heart of Librarian power—the dreaded Highbrary—if I was ever going to bring Bastille back to life and stop my know-it-all hotshot renegade father from unleashing chaos all over the world just because he thinks it's the right thing to do.
I wasn't sure I would make it out in one piece. Or two pieces. Or even ten pieces, considering how ticked off the Librarians were with me.
So if you're willing to read about a world full of deadly dangers and fearsome foes unlike anything you've read before, turn the page. After all, I made it out alive...
Though someone very close to me didn't.
Praise for the Alcatraz series:
"Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids)."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"An excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family." —NPR
"Those who enjoy their fantasy with a healthy dose of slapstick humor will be delighted." —School Library Journal
"Genuinely funny...plenty here to enjoy." —Locus
"In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson's first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events." —VOYA
