From Alcatraz:
I’ve finally finished working on the 5th and last book of my life story. The Evil Librarians are relentless and it’s all I can do to keep one step ahead of their nefarious plots. They even went so far as to convince Scholastic to only publish 4 Alcatraz books and not contract the 5th book! I have convinced Brandon to buy the rights back, so the last book can be released in the Hushlands by another publisher. I just wanted to let you know that there is a 5th Alcatraz book! It took time to get it past the Librarian defenses but I’m hoping it will come out fairly soon. We can’t let the Evil Librarians win, can we?!
Anyway, the important thing is that you keep eating macaroni and cheese, avoid crapaflapnasti items (that shall remain nameless) and stay vigilant! RUTABAGA, I’ve got to get going, a horn-rimmed librarian is looking my way! Time to break something.
Best,
Alcatraz
Why are some of the Alcatraz books priced so high on Amazon?
The Alcatraz books from Scholastic are out of print, so that’s why you sometimes see them selling for high prices. We don’t have any control over that, but now that we have new editions of the books you should be able to find them for a reasonable price.
