Told in letters, poems, text messages, news stories, and comics-a series of documents Nora collects for the Wolf Creek Community Time Capsule Project -Breakout is a thrilling story that will leave readers thinking about who's really welcome in the places we call home. Even if the inmates are caught, she worries that home might never feel the same. Worst of all, everyone is on edge, and fear brings out the worst in some people Nora has known her whole life. Doors are locked, helicopters fly over the woods, and police patrol the school grounds. But when two inmates break out of the town's maximum security prison, everything changes. Nora Tucker is looking forward to summer vacation in Wolf Creek-two months of swimming, popsicles, and brushing up on her journalism skills for the school paper. What begins as just reporting on the event ends up saying a lot about racism and criminal justice, told in a very accessible style of texts, comics, letters, and more." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor " Breakout is the story of a prison break narrated by three girls who live in the neighborhood surrounding the prison.
