Review by Calin M.
Who would like this book? I think this would be a good book for both genders. I would personally recommend this book to others.
The goods on this book: This book is mainly about a family that moved to Alcatraz for their Dad’s work. The main characters in this book are Matthew, also called Moose; Natalie, Matthew’s sister; Piper, the Wardens daughter; Scout, Matthew’s friend; Cameron, Matthews Dad; Warden Williams, the warden; and Al Capone, the notorious criminal. Natalie gets sent to Esther P. Marinoff School, a school that would help Natalie with her education since she was a very challenged learner. This was really hard on Matthew’s family because they really cared about Natalie, and really worried that she wouldn’t make it at Esther P. Marinoff. If you would like an easy, but interesting read I think this is the book for you!
