(4) 4-6 Each chapter of Murphy's handsome book about the children who have called Alcatraz home covers one period in the island's history, from military outpost to prison to Native American encampment. The information is intriguing and child-centered, and the photographs and book design are excellent, but the writing is uneven and jumps abruptly from one subject to another. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind.
