#20 -- Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians

How would you like to read a book about evil librarians who carry weapons like crossbows? Or torture people with paper cuts?  Or create a monster out of crumpled up paper?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then this book by Brandon Sanderson is for you!!  Alcatraz (funny name, huh?) is an orphan in foster care.  He always gets sent from home to home because he destroys so much property.  On his 13th birthday a very old man comes to the door and introduces himself as Alcatraz's grandfather.  He whisks Alcatraz away saying that they must run from the evil librarians.  Why are they running from the librarians?  Why do these librarians have weapons?  And most of all -- Why are they trying to steal a bag of sand???You will have to read this silly adventure book to find out the answer to all of these questions.

This book is appropriate for all age groups but would appeal to 4th - 6th graders.  It was a light-hearted, funny read that I enjoyed.
