Industry Reviews
"Choldenko captures the tense, nuanced family dynamics touched off by Natalie's disability as skillfully as she handles the mystique of Alcatraz and the exchanges between Moose and his friends. Fast-paced and memorable."
Publishers Weekly (02/02/2004)

"Choldenko's pacing is exquisite, balancing the tense family dynamics alongside the often-humorous and riveting school story of peer pressure and friendship. Fascinating setting as a metaphor for Moose's own imprisonment and enabling some hysterically funny scenes, but a great read no matter where it takes place."
Kirkus (03/01/2004)

"[T]he unusual setting and authentic portrayal of a kid torn between family loyalty and a desire for independence make this a satisfying and compelling read."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (03/01/2004)
