About this book

Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians takes similar ideas from the Harry Potter series and turns them on their head in a madcap adventure. Like Harry Potter, Alcatraz Smedry is an orphan, who, on his 13th birthday, receives an odd gift. For Alcatraz, that gift is a bag of sand. Then, some crazy guy shows up claiming to be his grandfather, telling Alcatraz that his bag of sand is magical and can save the world. Like any thirteen year old, Alcatraz doesn't believe his grandfather, and anyway, he has bigger problems to worry about. He's accidentally burned down his foster mother's kitchen. Then, his bag of sand goes missing, and Alcatraz in unwillingly drawn into infiltrating the downtown library, where events beyond all his imaginings unfold, including talking dinosaurs. Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians is the first in the Alcatraz series in which Alcatraz and his family battle librarians who want to take over the universe. With a mix of sci-fi and fantasy and a whole lot of humor, Sanderson draws readers into Alcatraz's world, a world where liabilities like always being late or always breaking things are considered talents, a world where tourists are talking dinosaurs, and a world where librarians want to control the flow of information. This fast-paced, energetic book will pull you in and drag you along for an amazing ride.
