(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Hayley Lazo. In this fifth and final (if we're to believe narrator Alcatraz) installment, Alcatraz plans to infiltrate the Highbrary and sidetrack his father's disastrous schemes. Plans go awry with the arrival of the evil Librarian Biblioden. As in previous volumes, the narrative is rife with bizarre situations, thrilling seat-of-the-pants action, and metafictional musings; the ending will set readers back on their heels.
