![]() ![]() It actually reminded me quite a bit of Lemony Snicket, to be honest. The big draw of these books is the voice of Alcatraz-the-author, who interrupts and explains and rigmaroles his “origin” story, complete with cheeky winks and nods at Newbery Medal books and To Kill a Mockingbird. And that shows even in his books for younger audiences The Rithmatist was wildly creative, and Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians is as well, especially the magic system. He’s incredibly prolific and has the knack for developing unique magic in all of his books. As an author, as a worldbuilder, he really is phenomenal. ![]() Rating: 3/5 I need to preface this review by stating that I love Brandon Sanderson. Alcatraz must stop them!…by infiltrating the local library, armed with nothing but eyeglasses and a talent for klutziness. The sand will give the evil Librarians the edge they need to achieve world domination. This is no ordinary bag of sand…and it is quickly stolen by the cult of evil Librarians who are taking over the world by spreading misinformation and suppressing truth. But on his thirteenth birthday, he receives a bag of sand, and life takes a bizarre turn. ![]() Alcatraz Smedry doesn’t seem destined for anything but disaster. Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians, by Brandon Sanderson, was published in 2007 by Scholastic. ![]()
