And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents kitchen. Its not my fault, things just break around me, I swear!I thought the sand was a joke until evil Librarians came to steal it. Youre probably thinking, Librarians are nice people who recommend good books, but thats just what they want you to think! It turns out theyre actually a secret cult keeping the truth from you-a hidden world filled with magical eyeglasses, talking dinosaurs, and knights with crystal swords!Or so my Grandpa Smedry claimed when he suddenly showed up to rescue me. So now I have to go with him to invade the local library and get that sand back, before it's used to conquer the world. And Grandpa says how I keep breaking things is actually an amazing talent. Theres no way that can all be true, right?Will I ever make it back home alive?"An excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family. Funny, exciting, and briskly paced." -NPR
