Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians (Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians, 6)

This is the final book in the Evil Librarian Series. We begin with Alcatraz and Bastille trying to get out of the Librarian headquarters without getting burned up by lava. Alcatraz has just witnessed a gruesome death that he considers his fault. This caused major problems for him and Bastille as they are trying to save the world from being vaporized.

Bastille is hilarious. I laughed at the times she spoke to the readers directly. It took me a little bit to get used to it because it’s so different, but I liked it. I also appreciated that this is her writing about it as an adult after it happened. It was a cool point of view I don’t see in many books.

Alcatraz was fantastic. I loved that when something horrible happened to him, he acted as a normal human would react even though he’s a hero in a fantasy book. I appreciate noting that heroes have feelings and sometimes stop and can’t go on.

This was an epic conclusion! I feel like this book is perfect for eight- to twelve-year-olds. I can’t wait to introduce my son to the series! Well done to both the authors.
