I came here because my mother said I had to. You get to Alcatraz by being the worst of the worst. I never knew prisons could be picky, but I guess they can. The Newbery Honor Book and New York Times Bestseller that is historical fiction with a hint of mystery about living at Alcatraz not as a prisoner, but as a kid meeting some of the most famous criminals in our history. The convicts we have are the kind other prisons don't want. Plus, there are a ton of murderers, rapists, hit men, con men, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, kidnappers and maybe even an innocent man or two, though I doubt it. And there are twenty-three other kids who live on the island because their dads work as guards or cooks or doctors or electricians for the prison, like my dad does. There's my sister, Natalie, except she doesn't count. Today I moved to a twelve-acre rock covered with cement, topped with bird turd and surrounded by water.
