Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians
Book 1 of the Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians series
Alcatraz Smedry has spent his life moving through foster homes and breaking nearly everything he touches, until a bag of sand left by his parents is stolen by a cult of evil Librarians. He learns that his apparent clumsiness is actually a magical Talent and that the world he knows is only the Librarian-controlled Hushlands. Joined by his eccentric grandfather and the serious knight Bastille, Alcatraz sets out to recover the sand and discover the truth about his family. Brandon Sanderson opens the Alcatraz series with a deliberately absurd middle-grade fantasy that mixes secret history, magical incompetence, self-aware narration, and jokes about the conventions of books themselves.
