Why read it?
2 authors picked Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book was action-packed and hilarious! Such a whimsical and fun adventure about an "orphan" boy who discovers he's got incredible (if unorthodox) powers and a much more prestigious lineage than he ever knew about. A common premise but with a refreshing execution. I also found the narrative highly entertaining with its breaking the fourth wall. It gave a personal insight into the author’s excellent sense of humor. This was my first Brandon Sanderson read. I'm off to read Skyward next. I'm sure I will love it too.
From S.'s list on action-packed offbeat sci-fi and fantasy.
While the kids have taught me to enjoy the action, I still want humor in my stories. This one has a hero who breaks stuff, sometimes at the most inopportune moments. His family members have “talents” that include being late and getting lost. It’s fun, and very clever, to see how these traits end up being helpful.
