It's 1935 and Moose Flanagan (age 12) has just moved to...Alcatraz. His dad is the new electrician for the prison, and Moose and his family have to adjust to life on an island with folks like Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and Roy Gardner--all notorious criminals. Moose finds himself caught up in a money-making scheme with the warden's daughter (!), while he tries to care for his sister, who has severe autism.
Great story! Fun to read about Alcatraz, and what it would be like to live there...
There's a sequel, too, if you like this one: Al Capone Shines my Shoes.
