      About This Book

      A FEARSOME THREAT FROM THE POWERFUL SECRET NETWORK THAT RULES THE WORLD...

      ALCATRAZ SMEDRY has an incredible talent for breaking things; he's hardly a hero. But he receives a bag of sand on his thirteenth birthday, and his life takes a bizarre turn. This is no ordinary bag of sand, and 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! ... by infiltrating the local library, armed with nothing but eyeglasses and a talent for klutziness.
