My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alcatraz is a boy who grows up in foster homes never knowing his parents and never feeling like he fits in. He's sent a box of sand for his birthday and shortly after a grandfather he never knew he had also appeared - and that's when the fun starts. He is a reluctant hero who must use his surprising gifts to save the world as we know it. The story is engaging and Alcatraz is a boy the reader roots for even though he writes his tale with a huge amount a skepticism and snark. This is a fun middle grade book.
