Breakout Review: Wonderful characters in a fast paced story. - This book is amazing on so many levels. The depth of the characters, the setting, the use of various methods of story telling. All come together to tell what happens to a small town when escaped prisoners are on the loose. I prefer in my reviews not to get into too many story details, I don’t like to give plot away, etc. The book is told from 3 points of view. Nora, Lizzie and Elidee. All three girls have well defined personalities and are capable of being funny and thoughtful. Kate does a wonderful job of describing fear and how fear isn’t always an emotion that comes in big doses. It can be a fear that’s smoldered for a long time. The author did posts on her blog describing the way she went about writing this book, which added another layer to the story for me. It’s worth checking them out, it makes you appreciate even more this fine book. Perhaps Kate will give us another story someday with Nora, Lizzie and Elidee, three tough, vulnerable, funny, young women. Review: Highly Recomended Entertaining, Empathy-Building Read for Kids and Adults. - Couldn't put BREAKOUT down -- first, because it was such a great read and second, because my 13 year old son kept stealing it from me. Loved the voices in this book, captured and shared through various documents -- letters, texts, comics, satirical news, poems, announcements, student news articles, media news reports, transcribed recordings of conversations -- compiled as part of a time capsule project. BREAKOUT does an amazing job at comparing/contrasting rural v. city life and the microaggressions that a black family faces in a predominantly white town. The poems that Elidee creates based on Jackie Woodson's BROWN GIRL DREAMING and lyrics from Hamilton are a beautiful way to convey Elidee's frustrations with her family's situation and her new community. BREAKOUT will no doubt create amazing conversations among readers in living rooms, classrooms, and book clubs. While the suspense of the manhunt kept me turning pages, the beauty of the characters and the commentary on how we can be better humans will be the reason I keep BREAKOUT in my head and heart. Highly recommend for entertainment value and empathy building. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,650,169 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #62 in Children's Country Life Books #522 in Children's Mystery, Detective, & Spy #1,714 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 536 Reviews | ## Images ![Breakout - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ajZMpEM4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful characters in a fast paced story. *by A***Y on July 22, 2018* This book is amazing on so many levels.

Highly recommend for entertainment value and empathy building. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great voice and surprising insight *by K***R on June 9, 2019* Nora and Elidee are two strong characters, each with a distinct and memorable voice that made reading this (middle grade?) novel delightful fun. The structure is unique and interesting,including letters, texts, poems, transcriptions of recorded conversations and even comic panels meant to be included in a time capsule. There is humor, tension and a prison break. But what moved and surprised me was the depth of the story. Racism, the criminal justice system, and how even the best of us can be horrible on any given day, were themes I was not expecting that brought gravitas and meaning to this otherwise lighthearted story. Great for younger readers but something for the young at heart as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/66013945-breakout](https://www.desertcart.at/products/66013945-breakout) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
