Read This! Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson

I learned something new about authors while reading this book. I thought authors wrote books because they are brimming over with creativity and want to share their stories with the world. I found out I was WRONG! Authors actually like to torture people, but they don't want to get their hands messy so they write books. How is this torture you ask? Simple, they create loveable characters and then they make terrible things happen to them. As Alcatraz Smedry says, "If this weren't the case, all novels woud be filled completely with cute bunnies having birthday parties." This book is definitely not about cute bunnies and there is not a single birthday party in the book. Although, there is a birthday and the present is a bag of sand. There is also a birthday dinner of ramen noodles that ends up with a torched kitchen and a visit from child welfare --again. The book is full of loveable chracters like Alcatraz, Bastille and Grandpa Smedry and lots of horrible things do happen to them, like tripping and getting tied to an alter made from outdated encyclopedias by a cult of evil Librarians. This book will keep you up way past your bedtime!

And if that is not enough (and trust me, it won't be), you can read the second book in the series, Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones. Fortunately for you, there are bunnies having birthday parties in this book, but unfortunately, lots of bad things happen to the loveable Alcatraz and his crew.
