Book two of the Alcatraz Smedry series. Here, our hero must descend into the Library of Alexandria (yes, it secretly survived and was moved to a new location) to find his long-lost father. The main problem: the library is staffed by Curators who demand your soul should you check out a book. And they are determined to keep Alcatraz and his friends there forever. And also, those evil 'normal' librarians are also hot on their heels.
Like the first volume, this was full of wit, absurdity, cleverness, and fun. I didn't like it quite as much as the first, but it was still solid.
