adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Kearsten says: Alcatraz has no idea he's a heir to a mysterious and special...bag of sand. On his 13th birthday, everything he thought he knew has changed, and it's up to him to defeat the evil Librarians (who've been lying about the truth for many years) and save the world from evil Librarian-domination. Fun and a bit silly, this one's completely engaging! But don't tell anyone I said so - they might think I'm a double agent, spying on the evil Librarians from the *inside*... ( )A clever adventure story full of fun characters. Perfect for upper-elementary or lower-middle school students, especially boys. Only a couple things bugged me about this book: 1. When the character narrates, he seems like an adult, but the dialogue sounds more like a teenager. 2. It also got tiresome when the narrator would explain why he was telling the story as he was - I wanted him to get on with the story! "Playful" is a word that comes to mind when describing this book. The narrator plays with literary conventions in a very postmodern fashion (apologizing for a cliffhanger chapter ending, informing you that he's about to editorialize) and the whole concept is very playful (a bunch of people with superpowers such as breaking things, tripping, and being late). I didn't enjoy being referred to as "evil" every few pages (I'm a librarian), but I otherwise highly recommend this book. Alcatraz breaks things without trying, and is moved from one foster home to another. On his 13th birthday, he receives a box of sand as a gift. It is stolen. The next day a man claiming to be his grandfather shows up at the door and they set off on a quest to recover the sands and save the free world from the librarians who hoard all knowledge. Very goofy, and lots of fun! A great alternate reality, too. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
