Escape from Alcatraz: The Mystery of the Three Men Who Escaped From The Rock (Encounter: Narrative Nonfiction Stories)

I enjoyed it so much, I signed on to do the "Escape From Alcatraz" swim. It was quite the experience. I wonder if they still have it. The story, the book, and the swim were all motivating and inspiring.

Having recently toured Alcatraz, an escape from the Rock seemed impossible. Yet, the guided tour talksabout it and remnants of the preparation are found on the cells of the escapees. Book is well researched detailing the ingenuity and preparation of the three escapees. Recommend for all those who tour Alcatraz.

I bought these for the kids escape-room party goody bags. I read through it first to make sure it was okay for kids; then had my daughter read it, she absolutely loved it. It goes wellWith the Escape Room theme and is far better than some of the plastic junk out there.

Fun read for a lazy, inside weekend!

Grandsons had to read this for their summer reading project. We went to Alcatraz last year. I think they got away...but will we ever REALLY KNOW? Ummmm.

Good book for kids and even the grandparents picked it up and gave it a read. We bought this before a trip to San Francisco including a tour of Alcatraz. The kids felt they gained a lot by reading this first and having some background on the prison and some of the famous prisoners. My 12 year old even woke up early one day and went right to this book for 1.5 hrs instead of asking to play Fortnite.

The book gave readers great info about this daring escape. It was hard to put it down. Enjoyed the details about the prison itself and the men who "escaped. I do wonder if they really got away alive...

It is a shame that the book was so short, but it was a wonderful read all the same. It is understandable given that not a whole lot is known about the incident due to the result.

Nothing new I didn’t already know! Very short book, looks the writer took his knowledge from the internet!

There’s a lot of questions, and answers.I think they make it, but what happen at the Angel island, when they’re arriving? Who picked / helped them up . Did they go to South America?

amazing book

More of a booklet ...

Good little book
