Unlock the Mystery of Alcatraz: A Two-Part Deep Dive into Inseparable by David Kruh
What happened to the three inmates who, in 1962, escaped from Alcatraz on a makeshift raft? Inseparable is a historical novel that reimagines this real-life escape, blending fact with fiction to tell the story of two escapees, the Anglin brothers, and the unexpected ally who helps them.
In the novel, a thirteen-year-old boy, living with his mother—a Korean War widow—discovers the fugitives barely alive on a tiny beach south of Sausalito. As he helps them evade the police, FBI, Coast Guard, and an obsessed reporter, he finds himself caught in an unforgettable adventure.
This two-part lesson pack will take you on an exciting journey through the novel’s themes, characters, and historical background.

In the second lesson, we’ll watch an exclusive interview with author David Kruh, where he shares his inspiration for the novel and insights into the real-life 1962 Alcatraz escape.
Students will:
✅ Listen for key details in a real-life author interview.
✅ Discuss how historical events influence storytelling.
✅ Reflect on the research process behind writing historical fiction.
