Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians (Alcatraz #1)

Experience the action-packed first book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson`s laugh-out-loud middle-grade fantasy series like never before--Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians is now in paperback with all new covers! AN ANCIENT RIVALRY REAWAKENS. Everything I`d known about the world was a lie. On my thirteenth birthday, I, Alcatraz Smedry (yes, I got named after a prison, don`t ask) received my inheritance: a bag of sand. And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents` kitchen. It`s not my fault, things just break around me, I swear! I thought the sand was a joke until evil Librarians came to steal it. You`re probably thinking, "Librarians are nice people who recommend good books," but that`s just what they want you to think! It turns out they`re actually a secret cult keeping the truth from you--a hidden world filled with magical eyeglasses, talking dinosaurs, and knights with crystal swords! Or so my Grandpa Smedry claimed when he suddenly showed up to rescue me. So now I have to go with him to invade the local library and get that sand back, before it`s used to conquer the world. And Grandpa says how I keep breaking things is actually an amazing talent. There`s no way that can all be true, right? Will I ever make it back home alive?
