Alcatraz Versus the Shattered Lens

296 pp. | Scholastic | December, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-439-92557-0 $17.99
(2) 4-6 Alcatraz Smedry returns for the fourth book in the metafictionally inclined series, here sneaking into Mokia to rally the Knights of Crystallia against a Librarian siege. Besides trying to make everything boring, the Librarians want to keep Alcatraz's father from giving Smedry talents to everyone. Charismatic characters hold everything together while the plot unfolds, with goofy randomness streamlining into compelling narration.
