The Scrivener's Bones
#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series Brandon Sanderson continues the epic adventure he began in Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians... So if you haven’t read that one yet, put this book down, buy the first one (several copies!), read it, and come back when you know what the heck is going on.Go ahead. I’ll wait...Good, you’re back.So now you’ve read all about me, Alcatraz Smedry, and how I was swept out of my life in your normal world, and into the fight against the Librarians (jerks!). And after being all heroic and stuff in that tale I really didn’t expect much—though a huge parade would have been appreciated. Seriously, even a pizza party would have worked.I certainly didn’t expect to charge headlong into enemy territory—the Library of Alexandria, where I and my grandpa and my grouchy bodyguard Bastille and her even grouchier mother and some weirdly gifted cousins would face the Curators (ghosts who will gladly help you check out a book...as long as you don’t mind giving up your mortal soul) and some new, nasty Librarians who hate our guts—and would be happy to rip them out for us.But none of that comes close to the horror we would have to face if we succeeded in finding what we were searching for...MY DAD! (DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!)Big surprise there, right? Well, believe me—that’s not even close to the biggest surprise you’re going to get when you read this book...Praise for the Alcatraz series:“Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids).”—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)“An excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family.” —NPR“Those who enjoy their fantasy with a healthy dose of slapstick humor will be delighted.” —School Library Journal“Genuinely funny...plenty here to enjoy.” —Locus“In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson’s first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events.” —VOYA
The Shattered Lens
The sci/fi fantasy adventures of Brandon Sanderson--#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Knights of Crystallia and the Mistborn series—have been praised as “genuinely funny” and “an excellent choice” and...and......and you know what? That’s enough. For too long, I’ve been telling you all how fantastic this Brandon Sanderson character is, and I’m just sick of it. Take it from me—I’ve actually met the guy.Now me? I can be impressive. Unfortunately, that’s usually when the trouble starts. But not this time! Honest!I mean, it’s hardly my fault that the kingdom of Mokia was about to fall to the evil forces of the Librarians.And it’s not really my fault if I sort of accidentally led a small force of freedom fighters to the Mokian capital of Tuki Tuki to help save the city and its brave people.And it’s definitely not my fault that the Librarians found out I was there and launched an all-out attack with giant robots and scary weapons that permanently knocked people out and blew huge holes in the ground and kidnapped people and then my Librarian mother showed up and ruined everything as usual while my father was too busy to care even though he’s the one who was going to unleash chaos on the world and my talent for breaking things was getting way out of control and I didn’t know what to do!!!(WHEW!)So...if you want to keep reading and find out what else was totally not—I repeat, NOT—my fault, go right ahead.Just don’t blame me if you can’t stop turning the pages.Praise for the Alcatraz series:“Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids).”—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)“An excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family.” —NPR“Those who enjoy their fantasy with a healthy dose of slapstick humor will be delighted.” —School Library Journal“Genuinely funny...plenty here to enjoy.” —Locus“In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson’s first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events.” —VOYA
The Knights of Crystallia
Brandon Sanderson--#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Scrivener’s Bones and the Mistborn series—returns with yet another action-packed, hair-raising, eye-popping, ear-flicking, tooth-picking, nose-licking......Sheesh! With all that buildup, even I can’t wait to see what happens in this story—and I’m the one who wrote it!Since you’re reading this, I’m going to assume you’re intelligent enough to have read both of my previous adventures as told by myself—the one and only Alcatraz Smedry (insert applause here)—and don’t need to be caught up.After braving many perils with my grandpa and our band of courageous comrades (we almost got killed a lot), I was finally going to visit Nalhalla, home of the Smedry family and of Crystallia, where Bastille—my Crystin Knight best friend/protector/tormentor—was trained. I knew I would love it. Especially since everybody there thinks I’m pretty much the greatest hero in the history of heroes.Hey, I’m not going to argue.Unfortunately, there’s trouble brewing (yeah, I know, big surprise). Because those dastardly Librarians are sending an ambassador for peace talks. And all they want in return for stopping the fighting is control over the proud realm of Mokia. Personally, I think the idea stinks on ice. And off ice. And without any ice. It just stinks.The problem is that not everyone in Nalhalla is as cool and tough and brave and handsome as I am (stop laughing!). And there are some who will do anything to suck up to those lying Librarian lowlifes—even if it means betraying everything the Free Kingdoms stand for. And if you’re as intelligent as I assume you are, you know that means I’m going to have to stop them.But how?Well, start reading and find out.Praise for the Alcatraz series:“Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids).”—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)“An excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family.” —NPR“Those who enjoy their fantasy with a healthy dose of slapstick humor will be delighted.” —School Library Journal“Genuinely funny...plenty here to enjoy.” —Locus“In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson’s first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events.” —VOYA
