Teens can't put this one down.

The way Eve Bunting maintains the suspense here is wonderful. She gets you caring about the central character, and about the ranger who befriends him, and then puts them in jeopardy, chapter after chapter, with the dreaded image of Alcatraz in the background.

For Mature readers...

Story was ok. Skipped and didn't clarify a lot of things. This book is a on my 6th graders reading list and I did not like how The Outlaws treated Biddy. Talking about strip clubs and one of the boys liking her neck. Also how they carried around ice picks and switchblade may be more appropriate for 8th grade on up. I did like the description of Alcatraz and makes me want to take my kids to see it. I went as a girl scout when I was younger.

I read Someone is Hiding on Alcatraz by Eve Bunting, a book that I did not know existed. The story starts in San Francisco but very quickly moves on to Alcatraz Island. The book begins with Danny giving back an old woman's purse that was stolen by and outlaw's brother. The outlaws were mad because they felt Danny interfered with the heist. Danny jumps on a boat to Alcatraz because the outlaws are chasing him. Cowboy, one of the outlaws, snuck behind Danny and Biddy and Priest opened all the jail cells and they locked Danny and Biddy up. Danny begins to dig a hole through the cell wall. Eventually the hole was big enough, and Danny gets out of the cell. When he gets out he attacks the outlaws. The police show up and lock up all the outlaws.

I liked this book because it had a lot of action and adventure. It showed that once there is something on the line for you, you loose all fear and confront your fears. I recommend this book to middle school student who like action and adventure stories.

I was a reluctant reader and this book introduced me to fiction. I first read this book in 1986. Up until then I didn't know there were books out there for me. This book started me on a lifetime love of reading. Thank you Ms Bunting.

This bookis like a vido game you dont know what hapens.

This book is an action pack book. This book is partly a violencewith the rest of the book is basted on alcatraz Island.

The character called preast mugs a alder and danny tackels the muger. the muger is a little brother of a gang called the outlaws. Danny Hits deffends him self at Alcatarza Island.

My favret catacter is danny. Danny is the mane one the out laws want.i like danny becuse he trys to help other people out but him self.The other character I like is biddy she is 17years old.

I wuld not chang inething about this bookit is goob how it is.
