Return to the Library of Doom series.
Illustrated by
Bradford Kendall.
In Dictionary, the Librarian faces adversaries including Wordsmith and Forger. In App, the Librarian and the Specialist save unsuspecting citizens from a flock of ravens conjured by an app called Ravenwing. There's not a lot of depth, but the format--easy-to-read texts interspersed with comic-style drawings--add interest for reluctant readers. Discussion questions and writing prompts are appended. Glos. Review covers these Return to the Library of Doom titles: Dictionary of 1000 Rooms and Killer App.
