This week's post is brought to you by some guests: my nieces and nephew. They are getting ready to go on a trip, and I got to play librarian and find some books on CD. When I told them I'd checked out Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians, by Brandon Sanderson, they couldn't wait for their trip to start and listened to it last week. So, in their words, here is what they had to say about the book:
"This book is very entertaining. It has a clever plot, awesome characters, and epic talents. It gives you new insights into why authors write books. You should check it out because it's awesome and entertaining, especially to listen to. My favorite character is Bastille. She's a knight and knights are cool. " Belba*, age 12 (almost 13).
"My favorite part is when Alcatraz's grandpa and Blackburn duel with the lenses. Quentin is my favorite character. He can't say anything that makes sense and he predicts the future." Dudo, age 7.
"I really liked the dinosaurs. [This is one of my favorite parts, too, in case you care] I liked all the characters. This book is funny and entertaining." Ruby, age 10.
"My favorite part is when Sing trips when he is in danger. I like Alcatraz." Dimple, age 5.
So, there you have it. You don't have to trust me, or those dudes on the jacket. Trust the kids who read it, and check out Alcatraz!
*Note: These are not their real names. But they ARE real people. I promise.
