{{for\|Alcatraz Smedry\|the character\|pre=This article is about [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s series}} '''Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians''', also referred to as '''Alcatraz''' or '''Alcatraz Versus''', 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]]. == ~~Notes~~Books ==▼ The first four books were originally published by [[Scholastic]], one a year between 2007 and 2010. Due to disagreements between Brandon and Scholastic on the cover art and editing processes of the books, the fifth and final book was postponed indefinitely.{{cite}} After Scholastic's contract lapsed, Brandon bought back the rights and sold them to [[Tor]], who republished them with new art in 2016 before releasing the final book, [[The Dark Talent]], in September 2016. 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.{{ref\|name=a6-reveal}} {\| class='infobox bib' width=100% \| \|- class='alcatraz other' ! 2022 \| ''[[Bastille Versus the Evil Librarians]]'' \| #6 \| Novel \| Coauthored by [[Janci Patterson]] \| \|} The ~~end-node~~endnote to ''[[The Dark Talent]]'' ~~included~~includes a letter penned by [[Bastille]], in which she ~~stated~~states that there would aan ~~further~~additional book written from her perspective, in order to tie up everything properly.
