""This bustling entry features miraculous survivals and just deserts for the biblio-baddies... Rescues and kittens by the carload, with a bit of inner growth on the side.""--Kirkus Reviews ""I enjoy humor that makes me think, so this book's absurd wit is up my alley... The characters and story are highly delightful, and I highly recommend you give the book, and series, a shot.""--YA Books Central ""An amazing read for kids 8-14 . . . but adults who are young at heart and don't mind something a little silly and quirky once in a while would probably have a blast with it as well. . . . Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians was the conclusion the readers deserved, and I closed the cover on the final page of my favorite MG series of all time feeling content and satisfied.""--Bibliosanctum For the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series: ""This is an excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family. It's funny, exciting, and briskly paced. Best of all, the message it gives young readers is that a person's flaws--being late, breaking things, etc.--can sometimes turn into useful talents."" --Nancy Pearl on NPR's Morning Edition ""In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson's first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events."" --VOYA ""A happily action-packed romp."" --Horn Book
