Summary: Someone is Hiding on Alcatraz Island by Eve Bunting
Review: How would you like to be on an Island where at one point in time, the worst prisoners in the world were held? I am sure that Danny didn't like it much either but he did not really have a choice. For Danny it all starts when he sees a elderly women getting robbed. Danny decides that he wants to try to save her because the robber is smaller than he is (almost no one is). What he does not realize is that the robber is the brother of one of the boys in the toughest gang in school, the Outlaws. One day Danny is walking along when he sees the Outlaws out robbing tourists on Fisherman's Warf. Quickly Danny runs as the Outlaws chase after him. He jumps on a boat that is leaving for Alcatraz Island. Danny comes up with a plan to escape for the Outlaws but then he sees that the Outlaws have come to get him on the island. Danny decided to stay on the Island overnight to wait things out. What Danny does not know is that the Outlaws decided to stay on the Island overnight with him. Will Danny survive the night? You will have to wait until you read the book and find out for yourself. I really enjoyed reading this book and I am sure that you will to.

Summary: "Escape or Die!"
Review: I really enjoy Eve Bunting's books, and "Someone is Hiding on Alcatraz Island" is no exception. It's told in the first person by 14-year-old Danny Sullivan, who avoids four bullies from school (the Outlaws) by hiding out on Alcatraz Island while on a tour of the landmark prison. However, the Outlaws have the same idea, and soon Danny is involved in a nightly cat-and-mouse game through the abandoned building with a young park ranger, Biddy. But will either one of them leave the island alive?This a very fast-paced book and only 136 pages, which should appeal to more lax preteen readers. The setting is perfect, and the history of Alcatraz is significant in foreshadowing the latter events of this book.

Summary: Someones Hiding on Alcatraz Island Review
Review: I've never been or seen Alcatraz Island but in this book Eve Bunting gives me a clear feeling and thought of what it is and how it was for prisoners. In "Someone's Hiding on Alcatraz Island a boy messes around with the thugs in his school and ends up being chased by them all around Alcatraz Island in a wild goose chase with suspense and peril. I think in this story the author portrays a good sense of melancholy by having the story take place on Alcatraz Island. It puts such a dark glooming effect on the story and encourages the reader to keep reading. When I read it I couldn't stop because I just kept anticipating what would happen next and I had to figure it out.
This book also greatly draws out villains in your head and how tough and mean they actually are and how being chased by them would be such a miserable thing. She truly paints a picture in my head how they are. Overall I think this was a great spine-tingling thriller. I liked the book very much. In the future I would maybe get another one of Eve Buntings books because I truly liked this book a lot. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: This book is about a boy who hides on Alcatraz Island
Review: In my opinion, this is one of Eve Bunting's best books, although i have never read any of her books. At first it started out as a boring suspense story but, it turned into a eye opening story. The story was about a boy named Danny. Who ran into a gang and is hiding in Alcatraz Island to escape from being killed.
Rating:
Summary: A page turner.
Review: Non-stop suspense from the first to the last page. Alcatraz must be a spooky place in the daylight, but at night with a gang after you it would be even scarier.

Summary: Escaping the Inescapable
Review: One day Danny, the main character from the book Someone is Hiding on Alcatraz Island by Eve Bunting and published by The Berkley Publishing Group, sees an old woman, that looks like his Grandma. The old woman is being robbed. Danny goes to help her and ends up beating the thief to a bloody pulp. Seconds later he realizes the thief is the brother of a dangerous gang leader. This gang of ruthless hoodlums, called the Outlaws is known for their vengeance and the thief's brother is the notorious gang leader called Cowboy. News of the beating of Cowboy's brother quickly reaches the gang. The Outlaws start chasing Danny all over San Francisco and end up at a dock. Danny is not about to give in, so he jumps onto a ferry going to Alcatraz Island. Danny is a small, skinny teenager who is swift and agile. On the way to Alcatraz, Danny meets Biddy, one of the rangers who work at the old prison. Biddy is nice, sweet and cares about Danny's situation. Biddy loves to read and dance, and she is not afraid of the cruel, brutal Outlaws. Once Danny is on Alcatraz, he hides first in the morgue, and then on top of the water tower. It is here that he meets Jelly Bean one of the Outlaw's and breaks Jelly Bean's leg. As he tries to get away from the Outlaws, Danny is caught and locked in a cell next to his new friend, Biddy. While in the cell, Danny has "what if" memories of his dad because his dad was imprisoned and never seen again. If Danny escapes, can he fight off the mean, cold-hearted Outlaws or will Danny remain locked up and be badly hurt by the Outlaws. Will Danny live to tell the tale of this terrifying experience? This book is recommended for younger teens, 10-15 years old. It is a good and by far an unforgivable story with an amazing ending.

Review: Someone is Hiding on Alcatraz Island is a suspenseful thriller written by award-winning author Eve Bunting. It takes place in San Francisco, CA, where Danny, a 14-year old boy, is being chased by a gang called the "Outlaws", the toughest gang in school. The action begins when Danny sees a kid robbing an elderly lady, and he tries to stop him. The kid ends up being the brother of one of the gang members. In order to get away from the gang, Danny jumps on a ferry to Alcatraz Island where he thinks he'll be safe.... or is he? He is in an abandoned prison where only three people have gotten off alive, which makes for a very scary night. This is a book that keeps you turning the pages to see what happens next.
