Lezersrecensie
Original children's nonfiction
For people who like: original nonfiction children's books
Reading around the world: city of San Francisco - state of California (USA)
In five words: prison - Alcatraz - families - children - pictures
Positive points: The island of Alcatraz is well known for its former maximum security prison. But did you know that (most of) the guards lived there with their families? If you're wondering what it must have been like to grow up there as a child, then you'll find lots of interesting information and photographs in this nonfiction children's book.
There's also a timeline with a brief explanation of the other functions that Alcatraz had during its history. Especially the Native American Occupation in 1969 wasn't known to me and makes me curious to read more about it.
Negative points: A few things are repeated. But the book as a whole is way too interesting to be bothered by that.

Een hartverwarmende romance vol ouderwetse charme en personages die je gelijk in je hart sluit, tegen het decor van de roaring twenties.
