Helpful Score: 1

I really enjoyed this historical fiction book. I think the level it is best suited for is middle school students and older as that writing is too advanced for younger students. I liked how the author fictionalized some aspects of the book to make it interesting. All the characters had very different personalities. But the author was still able to keep the book historically accurate about living at Alcatraz and having a sibling with autism. A nice touch is at the end of the book where the author tells where she got the information from the book and what parts are fact and fiction. I am looking forward to reading the sequel.
