It tells the tale of Alcatraz, a young orphan who has bounced from foster home to foster home due to his unique talent of breaking things. It turns out that this talent is his secret power. Alcatraz in an occulator from an ancient line of occulators who are fighting an ongoing battle against librarians who are trying to take over the world.

Aimed primarily at boys, parents will also enjoy this book, especially with the references to Michael Creighton, David Eddings and "important books about disfuntional families". Fantastic read. It will be in the next After Harry.
