In his second skirmish against the Evil Librarians who rule the world, Alcatraz and his ragtag crew of freedom fighters track Grandpa Smedry to the ancient and mysterious Library of Alexandria.
Hushlanders―people who live in the Librarian-controlled lands of Canada, Europe, and the Americas―believe the Library was destroyed long ago. Free Kingdomers know the truth: the Library of Alexandria is still around, and it’s one of the most dangerous places on the planet. For it is the home of the scariest Librarians of them all: a secret sect of soul-stealing Scriveners.
Can Alcatraz and his friends rescue Grandpa Smedry and make it out of there alive?

A lot of fun!
Fun, intriguing story. My son loved the ‘cursing’: ‘shattered glass!’
I’m in the middle of reading this now, and I’m liking it even better than the first one!
It has the same awesome humor, and now that Alcatraz has grown (he still complains, but now he’s a bit more compassionate), I like his character much better.
Funny and great for kids! I love all the little narrator comments and quips about authors.
