The Shattered Lens (Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians #4)

The Shattered Lens is the fourth action-packed fantasy adventure in the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series for young readers by the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.

These fast-paced and funny novels are now available in deluxe hardcover editions illustrated by Hayley Lazo. Alcatraz Smedry is up against a whole army of Evil Librarians with only his friend Bastille, a few pairs of glasses, and an unlimited supply of exploding teddy bears to help him. This time, even Alcatraz's extraordinary talent for breaking things may not be enough to defeat the army of Evil Librarians and their giant librarian robots.

"An excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family. It's funny, exciting, and briskly paced." --Nancy Pearl on NPR'S Morning Edition

Review quotes

"Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids), this nutty novel... [is] also sure to win passionate fans. " — Publishers Weekly, starred review

Every Part was Perfect

Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians is a phenomenal series. Alcatraz's voice is distinct and perfect for such an adventure. The illustrations make the book even more fun. I loved the humor and intensity disguised behind a lack of it. In this book, the Smedrys and Bastille travel to Mokia, which is on the brink of falling to the Evil Librarians, and chaos ensues including, of course, giant robots. I love this series as a whole. It's a great introduction to Brandon Sanderson and perfect for a fun read if you're feeling down.

Brandon Sanderson
Brandon Sanderson creció en Lincoln, Nebraska. Vive en Utah con su esposa e hijos y enseña escritura creativa en la Universidad Brigham Young. Su primera novela publicada, Elantris (Nova, 2006), fue recibida por el público y la crítica como una interesantísima renovación del género de la fantasía. También ha publicado una brillante trilogía: Nacidos de la Bruma (Mistborn), formada por El imperio final (Nova, 2008), El pozo de la ascensión (Nova, 2009) y El héroe de las eras (Nova, 2010), junto con la precuela, Aleación de Ley (Nova, 2012), donde asienta las bases de su imaginario alomántico en un mundo de bruma y cenizas.

Tras El aliento de los dioses (Nova, 2012), una obra de fantasía épica en un único volumen en la línea de Elantris, Sanderson inició con El camino de los reyes la primera parte de una magna y descomunal decalogía, El Archivo de las Tormentas, de la que Palabras radiantes es la segunda parte. Los últimos títulos publicados por Nova son su aclamada novela Steelheart, primer libro de la Trilogía Reckoner, Infinity Blade (la Espada Infinita): Redención y El Rithmatista.
