About this listen

Alcatraz Smedry, practically the world champion of breaking things, never thought his most boring birthday present - a bag of sand - would get him into this much trouble. Yet now he's fleeing from evil Librarians, releasing dinosaurs to create a diversion in the fiction section, and learning that clumsiness can be a powerful talent!

The first in a gripping and action-packed adventure series featuring an unlikely but immensely likeable hero.

Great story but spoiled somewhat by the insertion of an excessive number of often stupid asides.
