Alcatraz

When Alcatraz and Grandpa Smedry make a pilgrimage to the Free Kingdom city of Crystallia, the Smedry home base, Alcatraz is shocked to see that he is a legend. When he was a baby, he was stolen by the Evil Librarians, and his mother, a Librarian herself, was behind the whole thing. Now, with his estranged father, who is acting strange indeed; his best friend Bastille, who has been stripped of her armor; and Grandpa Smedry, who is, as always, late to everything (that's his Talent), Alcatraz tries to save a city under siege. From whom? Why, the Librarians of course! And, in particular, an especially evil Librarian who has followed the Smedrys to Crystallia in hopes of shattering the city: Alcatraz's very own mother! In this third book in the Alcatraz Smedry series by acclaimed fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson, it's up to Alcatraz, a boy with all the wrong Talents, to save the day!
