This never-before-published, fast-paced, and funny novel is now available in a deluxe hardcover edition, illustrated by Hayley Lazo. Alcatraz Smedry has successfully defeated the army of Evil Librarians and saved the kingdom of Mokia. Too bad he managed to break the Smedry Talents in the process. Even worse, his father is trying to enact a scheme that could ruin the world, and his friend, Bastille, is in a coma. To revive her, Alcatraz must infiltrate the Highbrary—known as The Library of Congress to Hushlanders—the seat of Evil Librarian power. Without his Talent to draw upon, can Alcatraz figure out a way to save Bastille and defeat the Evil Librarians once and for all?

I, Alcatraz Smedry, proudly announce the last book of my autobiography, and was the hardest one for me to write. Because, in itIm not a hero. In fact, Im the one who screwed everything up for everyone else. First off, my Talent for breaking things got a little out of hand, and I ended up destroying everyone elses Talents. As in anyone who was born with a Talent no longer has a Talent and might never get their Talent backand all because of a Talent of mine which I no longer have. Got it? Even worse, my best friend Bastille (shes a girl, and a friend, but not really my girlfriendI think?) was put in a coma by those Librarian slugs. So I owed them one for that. And worse than worse, I needed to enter the heart of Librarian powerthe dreaded Highbraryif I was ever going to bring Bastille back to life and stop my know-it-all hotshot renegade father from unleashing chaos all over the world just because he thinks its the right thing to do. Having Broken The Smedry Talents While Saving The Kingdom Of Mokia From The Evil Librarian Army, Alcatraz Smedry Infiltrates The Highbrary As Part Of A Desperate Plan To Save His Comatose Friend, Batille.
