Release Spotlight: ALCATRAZ Series 1 & 2 (Brandon Sanderson)


Today I'm thrilled to spotlight the release of the illustrated reissues of Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians and The Scrivener's Bones, Books 1 and 2 in the Alcatraz series by Brandon Sanderson! I was a fan of these books when the first released in 2007, and couldn't have been more excited when Tor announced last year that they would not only be reissuing the first four books but finally publishing the fifth and final installment in the series this summer! If you haven't yet heard of these books I HIGHLY recommend both, and be on the lookout for my reviews soon!

Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians

Title: Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians
Author: Brandon Sanderson
Publisher: Starscape (Tor)
Release Date: 2/16/16

Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians is the first adventure in a fantasy series for young readers by the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. The fast-paced and funny series is now available in deluxe hardcover editions illustrated by Hayley Lazo.

On his thirteenth birthday, foster child Alcatraz Smedry gets a bag of sand in the mail-his only inheritance from his father and mother. He soon learns that this is no ordinary bag of sand. It is quickly stolen by the cult of evil Librarians who are taking over the world by spreading misinformation and suppressing truth. Alcatraz must stop them, using the only weapon he has: an incredible talent for breaking things.

"In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson's first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowland A Series of Unfortunate Events." -VOYA

The Scrivener’s Bones

Title: Alcatraz vs. the Scrivener's Bones
Author: Brandon Sanderson
Publisher: Starscape (Tor)
Release Date: 2/16/16

In this second Alcatraz adventure, Alcatraz finds himself on a mission to meet Grandpa Smedry when he gets swept up by a flying glass dragon filled with his unusual and mouthy Smedry cohorts.

Their mission? A dangerous, library-filled one, of course!

They are on their way to the ancient and mysterious Library of Alexandria (which some silly people think was long ago destroyed!) where they must find Grandpa Smedry, look for clues leading to Alcatraz's potentially undead dead father, and battle the creepy, dangerous soul-sucking curators who await them.
