Right from the begining we are immediately running with Danny to escape the Outlaws, a gang seeking vengence. The Outlaws want Danny because he helped an old lady escape an attacker, who just happened to be a brother of one of the outlaws. The story gets exciting when both Danny and the Outlaws are trapped on Alcatraz island for the night. Danny and a female ranger Biddy are captured by the gang and put into one of the old cell blocks. I felt like I was at Alcatraz Island because of the vivid descriptions throughout the book: the morgue, water tower, cell block. Danny has to overcome his fear and escape from the cell to get help. I enjoyed this fast paced action thriller. The only part that was under developed were the references to Danny deceased father who apparently died in a prison. A quick read, this thriller keeps you on your toes. Intended for a middle school audience, the language is simple and straightforward. A boy named Danny gets himself in trouble with a gang from his school called the Outlaws. They stalk him on to Alcatraz Island where through a series of events he gets free and takes down all four gang members rescuing a beautiful park ranger in the process. Struggling readers would enjoy this book. Although sparse in figurative language the book's strength lies in theprecarious situations which create a feeling of immediate danger. I would describe this as a high interest book for teens and preteens. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

This book is very short but lacks character development. For example, we really don't learn much about the gang members or why they do the things that they do. The details describing Alcatraz and the tour are well researched and historically accurate. The story does build the suspense, but it leaves a lot of details unresolved. In 1984 when this book was written, it was probably very interesting, but it doesn't hold up to modern standards for young adult novels. ( )
