Juvenile Fiction. #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series Brandon Sanderson continues the epic adventure he began in Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. I AM AWESOME! So I told you how Grandpa Smedry showed up at my house and said, "Alcatraz, come with me to save the world!" (That totally happened. You read the first two books, right?) Well, this is the book where you find out how awesome I really am! I finally make it to the Free Kingdoms�??lands outside of evil Librarian control (like where you live)�??and there's a bunch of castles! And dragons! And a giant crystal mushroom where knights hang out! And a huge pig butt you can ride in! (Okay, that's exactly as not-cool as it sounds.) Plus everyone loves me there because I'm a celebrity! (Don't worry, I won't let that go to my head.) Anyway, some bigwigs from the evil Librarians are in town trying to negotiate a peace treaty�??and I don't believe for a second that they actually mean it. I hope I can convince the Council of Kings it's a terrible idea. Also, Bastille is in big trouble with the Knights of Crystallia because I broke her magic sword (whoops), but if I explain what happened they'll let her be a full knight again, right? They'd better, or I might break something else important! (Err, knowing me, that's bound to happen any… (altro)

I love the corny humor. :D (

Winter 2020 (January);
Sanderson Syspean Challenge

(I'm playing catchup on around 20-30 books since January started, so this morning's books will likely be a bit of an overview looking back on series from two months ago.)

The Alcatraz series was an adorable romp to get into in December and finish through the beginning of January (which sets me up as ready to read the the 6th book in the series being published this year!!). I do find Alcatraz himself a little much at times, but I love the surrounding cast, and figuring out the Shemdry talents before they are explained. I love Bastille with the power of a million suns. I absolutely felt heart-shot at the spoiler of book five. As well, I always look forward to the 1-2 tongue-in-cheek, wholly correct references to/commentary on Harry Potter hidden in each of these books. (

Alcatraz finally arrives in the Free Kingdom of Crystallia, but there is a plot afoot by the Librarians to capture a key book. Alcatraz also discovers what it means to be a real friend and how to judge between those who just want to be around him because he is famous. (

For a middle part in a bigger story, this one needed to evolve on the world and set things up for the end. It does a good job of both, while being a fun story. Up until this point, the Knights of Crystallia are mostly an unknown. This one shows the good and the bad of this society. (

Publishers' blurb:
"In this third Alcatraz adventure, Alcatraz Smedry has made it to the Free Kingdoms at last. Unfortunately, so have the evil Librarians--including his mother! Now Alcatraz has to find a traitor among the Knights of Crystallia, make up with his estranged father, and save one of the last bastions of the Free Kingdoms from the Evil Librarians."
My comment:
Just as good as the first two. Watch out for lots of red herrings and twists and turns. Loved it. Highly recommended. (

The rather complicated plot can be challenging to follow, and plenty of threads are left dangling for yet another sequel. Beneath the wild humor, there are surprisingly subtle messages about responsibility and courage.

aggiunto da Katya0133 | modificaSchool Library Journal, Elaine E. Knight (Jan 1, 2010)

With comical insight into human nature and just enough substance to make it all matter, the plot offers up plenty of action, gadgetry, metafictional humor, grudgingly dispensed hints of the librarians’ endgame, and counterintuitive Smedry Talents ... to keep old fans and new readers alike turning pages.
