On his thirteenth birthday, foster child Alcatraz Smedry gets a bag of sand in the mail-his only inheritance from his father and mother. He soon learns that this is no ordinary bag of sand. It is quickly stolen by the cult of evil Librarians who are taking over the world by spreading misinformation and suppressing truth. Alcatraz must stop them, using the only weapon he has: an incredible talent for breaking things.

"This is an excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family. It's funny, exciting, and briskly paced. The message it gives young readers is that a person's flaws-being late, breaking things, etc.-can sometimes turn into useful talents." --Nancy Pearl on NPR'S Morning Edition

"In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson's first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events." --VOYA

"A happily action-packed romp... and a cliffhanger ending that promises more of the same. Plus dinosaurs in tweed vests. Who could ask for more?" -Horn Book
