Kaz, if you're unsure about them, you can always use a library copy first (if they will let you borrow one).

I think they're hilarious. They're for a young audience, but there are lots of older audience allusions in there. Plus it makes fun of Harry Potter, so who couldn't enjoy that?

Trust me Kaz. You'll like 'em. If you don't that's okay to but there hilarous and everything else everybody said.

Oh Hey guy I found the review on Amazon for the book a few days ago here it is, I hjope you like it! (I know Ook has seen it though.

Product Description
When Alcatraz and Grandpa Smedry make a pilgrimage to the Free Kingdom city of Crystallia, the Smedry home base, Alcatraz is shocked to see that he is, in fact, a legend. When he was a baby he was stolen by the Evil Librarians, and his mother, a Librarian herself, was behind the whole scheme. Now, with his estranged father, who is acting indeed strange, Bastille, who has been stripped of her armor, and Grandpa Smedry, who is, as always, late to everything (that's his Talent), Alcatraz tries to save a city under siege. From who? Why, the Librarians of course!

No shards, nor Hoid. It is in a completely different universe.

Oh dear!!

That's so funny is a weird way.

That comic was great. Oh and BTW Bastille. Congrats on the topic being as popular as it is. It's one of the more popular ones on the front page. And I think it IS the most popular right now that isn't related to AMOL. "]

I had an English teacher in 12th grade who insisted "Mutant Message Down Under" was a true story. Well, the book does say so, but it's generally categorized as fiction. Unfortunately Alcatraz came out after I graduated or I could've tried to convince her that there really were evil librarians.

Bastille · « **Reply #173 on:** April 04, 2009, 07:02:09 PM »

Heh heh.

To bad it wan't out then. Thanks miyabi!! I'm happy that Alcatraz is getting some reconision.

Hey miyabi, I was wondering if you have listened to audio of Alcatraz yet? I'm not pushing you or anything. Just wondering if you've heard it yet.

Miyabi · « **Reply #175 on:** April 05, 2009, 03:49:41 AM »

No I haven't. ha ha. I've just been too busy with other stuff. xP I'll get to it eventually though.

Bastille · « **Reply #176 on:** April 05, 2009, 12:01:56 PM »

Thanks!

Okay! I was looking for the new Alcatraz book cover and look what I found. Aw darn. I can't get the silly pic up. Oh well. Everyone if your not to lazy go on Amazon and type in the title for the 3rd book and you'll see the cover. I can't believe the cover was speled wrong!!

Spelling errors happen on early mockups. It will get fixed soon enough.

People should know: Alcatraz's jacket actually looks like this:

(except not worn by a woman).

Going back a few pages, I think that if a Smedry marries someone, they have the same exact talent. (Which is why Shasta lost the keys).

Also, I don't think that Fixing could be a Talent, since they all seem to be negative things at first.

But some talents that could happen:
Forgetting things (information), not losing things)
Lying
Making messes
Wasting Time (perfect for this forum)
Giving only enough information to make everyone curious (that's yours Ookla)
Hurting yourself/Accident prone
Being able to make Really Bad Music (could go a LOT of places with this one)
Procrastination (though that is technically being late I suppose...)
Making things that don't work like they are supposed to ('Bloody Stupid' Jackson anyone?)
Making really annoying comments/noises

I think that's all I got.....
