My 14 year old son and 12 year old daughter read this book for book projects in school, so I read it with them. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were totally believable and the setting of Alcatraz in the 1930’s was very interesting. Even though it was set in a totally different time period, they were drawn into the character’s world and developed strong feelings about many of them. Both of my kids are reluctant readers, so I try to find things that I think will interest them. Not only did they love this book, but they were eager to read the sequel. It is a great book for readers of all ages.
