Description
The author of the Mistborn trilogy and Elantris, Brandon Sanderson is winning abundant praise for this rollicking-and unusual-tale. Alcatraz Smedry can't exactly be described as someone who doesn't break things. In fact, he breaks lots of things. The truth is, he's a major klutz. Breaking things, however, might just be the ace in the hole he needs when he goes up against a cabal of nefarious (gasp!) librarians.
