Helpful Score: 2

This was a nominated book for the Georgia Book awards in 2006, and rightfully so. The characters are believable, and the setting is very important to the story's plot. I had been to San Francisco not long before I read this book, and it was fun imagining how it may have been for a young boy and his family to live on Alcatraz. This is a good book for 4th - 7th graders to read to experience the trials of another child their age.
