Alcatraz Smedry has successfully defeated the army of Evil Librarians and saved the kingdom of Mokia. Too bad he managed to break the Smedry Talents in the process. Even worse, his father is trying to enact a scheme that could ruin the world, and his friend, Bastille, is in a coma. To revive her, Alcatraz must infiltrate the Highbrary—known as The Library of Congress to Hushlanders—the seat of Evil Librarian power. Without his Talent to draw upon, can Alcatraz figure out a way to save Bastille and defeat the Evil Librarians once and for all?

I think I would like the talent of getting lost. Then if someone starts annoying me I can just disappear.

Tim you are onto something! My son loves this series and has been looking forward to this book, so he will love to read this review! He has been into fiction lately as well, he started the school year reading John Hope’s Silencing Sharks and he has loved it. A great book with a great message. That’s the kind of books I love that he reads.
