"So I told you how Grandpa Smedry showed up at my house and said “Alcatraz, come with me to save the world!” . . . Well, this is the book where you find out how awesome I really am! I finally make it to the Free Kingdoms—lands outside of evil Librarian control (like where you live) . . . [E]veryone loves me there because I’m a celebrity! . . . Anyway, some bigwigs from the evil Librarians are in town trying to negotiate a peace treaty—and I don’t believe for a second that they actually mean it. I hope I can convince the Council of Kings it’s a terrible idea. Also, Bastille is in big trouble with the Knights of Crystallia because I broke her magic sword (whoops), but if I explain what happened they’ll let her be a full knight again, right? They’d better, or I might break something else important! . . ." -- Adapted from publisher's website.
