Description
Now featuring all new covers, the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians middle-grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING! So, remember how I told you that the evil Librarians who control your world are trying to take over all the countries they don't let you know about—the Free Kingdoms? In the last book (you've read the first three, right?) I, Alcatraz Smedry, foiled a plot that would have seen the rulers of those countries giving up the kingdom of Mokia for the promise of a cease-fire (which the Librarians totally would have broken in a few years). That means the battle for Mokia continues, and it's up to me to somehow keep the Librarians from conquering it. That's going to be super hard, because they have a ton of soldiers and even giant robots, and their powerful weapons knock people unconscious. With the royal family of Mokia all in comas, suddenly that makes me acting king! All I have to fight back with are some teddy bears and my talent for breaking stuff. Plus the dubious contributions of my uncle, Kaz, who gets lost all the time, and my cousin Aydee, who is terrible at math. (We're doomed.) At least Bastille will always be there to get me out of trouble, right? Is my first day as king bound to be the last day of my life?

        November 1, 2012
        Gr 5-8-In the fourth title chronicling Alcatraz Smedry's adventures fighting the various sects of Evil Librarians trying to take over the Free Kingdoms, the focus of the war has shifted to Mokia. Alcatraz and company travel to the Mokian capital to help defend it against a Librarian siege in the hope that the formidable Knights of Crystallia will follow and turn the tide of the battle. Alcatraz's mettle as a leader is put to the ultimate test and his entire understanding of the war is called into question. Armed with a supply of exploding teddy bears, his infamous Talent (breaking things), and supported by his friends and the remainder of the Mokian army, Alcatraz hopes to repel the Librarian forces, including their seemingly unstoppable giant robots. Ramon de Ocampo delivers an engaging performance as he returns to narrate the final title (Scholastic, 2010) in Brandon Sanderson's series. He strikes the right balance between Alcatraz's naturally snarky tone and the surprisingly serious moments as the boy comes to terms with his mounting responsibility and shifting perspective. As listeners familiar with the series know, Alcatraz frequently breaks from the narrative to address them directly on any number of ostensibly unrelated subjects, and de Ocampo shifts neatly between the action and these asides, maintaining the listeners' interest throughout. For those who prefer their fantasy with a dash of slapstick, plenty of metafictional humor, and a heap of irreverence. -"Amanda Raklovits, Champaign Public Library, IL"
