Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (series)
Alcatraz is a middle-grade series by Brandon Sanderson. It currently consists of 5 books told from the point of view of Alcatraz Smedry, a young boy and heir to House Smedry.
The first four books were originally published by Scholastic, one a year between 2007 and 2010. Scholastic would only agree to publish the first four books, not wishing to publish a fifth book with the Big Reveal which would then lead to a concluding sixth book written by Alcatraz's bodyguard. Brandon bought back the rights to the series and sold them to Tor, who agreed to publish all six books. The first four books were republished with new art during the first half of 2016. The fifth book, The Dark Talent, was then published in September, 2016.[1]
