But the old man seems completely crazy! When he tells Alcatraz that he’s his grandfather.
The next day, a very odd old man in a rattletrap old-fashioned car shows up, calling Alcatraz by name.
Once again, his ability to break things has come back to haunt him. Alcatraz’s case supervisor comes to tell him to get ready to move to a new home. But he manages to break the kitchen, setting it on fire. A bag of ordinary-looking beach sand.ĭisgusted, Alcatraz goes downstairs to made dinner for his foster parents in gratitude for them being normal. Sand? Alcatraz looks for more, but aside from a few mysterious scribbles on the packaging, that’s all it is. The “birthday gift” however, is a bag of sand. Is it a cruel joke? Did his parents really send it? And how would they have been able to know the address where he would be in thirteen years? He’s only lived there for eight months. The package looks old…the stamps date back thirteen years, and the wrapping is old and faded, with frayed cords. When a package arrives on his thirteenth birthday, Alcatraz is surprised to open it up and see a note from his parents. He doesn’t destroy things, because all the pieces are still there, things just end up broken beyond repair. He doesn’t intend to, it just seems to happen to things around him–from washing machines to plates to chickens. They’re his 27th placement as a foster kid not because he’s a bad kid, but because of his…problem. Although Alcatraz likes the Sheldons, he’s not counting on being with them forever. An orphan, he’s currently living with foster parents Joan and Roy Sheldon. It’s been awhile since we’ve posted!
