The Scrivener's Bones is the second action-packed fantasy adventure in
the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series for young readers by the #1
New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. These fast-paced
and funny novels are now available in deluxe hardcover editions
illustrated by Hayley Lazo.
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?
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
