Alcatraz Synopsis: Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians is the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s Alcatraz series. Alcatraz Smedry is a boy destined for nothing but disaster. He turns 13 and receives a bag of sand for his birthday, which is quickly stolen by a cult of evil librarians known as the Evil Librarians (appropriately enough). The Librarians are trying to take over the world by spreading misinformation, and the sand will help them achieve their goal of world domination. Alcatraz must stop these Evil Librarians from infiltrating the library in town.
