Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Now in paperback for the first time, featuring all new covers, the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians middle-grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.

You read the first two books, right ) Well, this is the book where you find out how awesome I really am! I finally make it to the Free Kingdoms-lands outside of evil Librarian control (like where you live)-and there's a bunch of castles! And dragons! And a giant crystal mushroom where knights hang out! And a huge pig butt you can ride in! (Okay, that's exactly as not-cool as it sounds.) Plus everyone loves me there because I'm a celebrity! (Don't worry, I won't let that go to my head.)Anyway, some bigwigs from the evil Librarians are in town trying to negotiate a peace treaty-and I don't believe for a second that they actually mean it. I hope I can convince the Council of Kings it's a terrible idea. Also, Bastille is in big trouble with the Knights of Crystallia because I broke her magic sword (whoops), but if I explain what happened they'll let her be a full knight again, right They'd better, or I might break something else important! (Err, knowing me, that's bound to happen anyway.).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Lazo, Hayley (illustrator). Neuware - #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series Brandon Sanderson continues the epic adventure he began in Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians So now you've read all about me, Alcatraz Smedry, and how I was swept out of my life in your normal world and into the fight against the Librarians (jerks!). After being all heroic and stuff in that tale, I didn't expect to charge headlong into enemy territory: the Library of Alexandria, where I-and my grandpa and my grouchy bodyguard Bastille and her even grouchier mother and some weirdly gifted cousins-would face the Curators (ghosts who will gladly help you check out a book as long as you don't mind giving up your mortal soul) and some new nasty Librarians who hate our guts.and would be happy to rip them out for us. But none of that comes close to the horror we would have to face if we succeeded in finding what we were searching for. MY DAD! (DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!) The Scrivener's Bones is the second book in this action-packed fantasy series for young readers.
