ReviewsPraise for Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians:"Sanderson unexpectedly draws everything together in an extravagantly silly climax. Readers whose sense of humor runs toward the subversive will be instantly captivated. Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids), this nutty novel is also sure to win passionate fans." -Publishers Weekly, starred review"This is an excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family. It's funny, exciting, and briskly paced. Best of all, the message it gives young readers is that a person's flaws- being late, breaking things, etc.-can sometimes turn into useful talents." -Nancy Pearl, National Public Radio"The conventional trappings of the middle-school fantasy get turned upside down in this zany novel. The adventures are engaging as well as silly. Readers who prefer fantasy with plenty of humor should enjoy entering Alcatraz's strange but amusing world." -School Library Journal, Praise for Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians "Sanderson unexpectedly draws everything together in an extravagantly silly climax.
