Alcatraz Smedry has successfully defeated the army of Evil Librarians and saved the kingdom of Mokia. Too bad he managed to break the Smedry Talents in the process. Even worse, his father is trying to enact a scheme that could ruin the world, and his friend, Bastille, is in a coma.
To revive her, Alcatraz must infiltrate the Highbrary – known as The Library of Congress to Hushlanders – the seat of Evil Librarian power. Without his Talent to draw upon, can Alcatraz figure out a way to save Bastille and defeat the Evil Librarians once and for all?

A hero with an incredible talent... for breaking things.
A life-or-death mission... to rescue a bag of sand.
A fearsome threat from a powerful secret network... the evil Librarians.
Alcatraz Smedry doesn't seem destined for anything but disaster. On his 13th birthday he receives a bag of sand, which is quickly stolen by the cult of evil Librarians plotting to take over the world. The sand will give the Librarians the edge they need to achieve world domination. Alcatraz must stop them – by infiltrating the local library, armed with nothing but eyeglasses and a talent for klutzines.
