This book is creative. It is also a little interesting. It is about a 13-year old boy who is a klutz. He finds out he has a special talent after he gets a package of strange sands(yes, sands) for a birthday present. He meets other people with strange talents like his. One of the weird people that he meets is his grandfather. His grandfather is a little crazy and somehow convinces Alcatraz that he lives in a world controlle d by evil librarians. They go on a somewhat wild adventure after the sands that he got for his birthday get stolen by the librarians. Overall, this book is a cool but somewhat confusing. I hope you found this review helpful. Have a nice week!

YOU MUST READ THIS BEST BOOK EVER but kinda confusing Read the series AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine. At first, I didn't know what to think of it. Then it got REALLY interesting. If you are a fan of Percy Jackson or Harry Potter, then I would definitely recommend this book. I would also recommend having the next book on hand, because, well, you will definitely want to read it as soon as you are done with the first one.
THAT'S AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alcatraz is awesome tho I wish there was a movie.
