The year is 1935 and Matthew Flanagan a.k.a. Moose lives on Alcatraz, an island full of murderers, mob bosses, and convicts. He has to sleep with Al Capone, Roy Gardner, and Machine Gun Kelly. Moose tries to be a good kid, but on this island there is all ways a dilemma. He has a sister named Nat and that is always in her own mind and barely pays attention to other people. He has made little friends, but except for Scott. Hew both have a passion for baseball. Piper is a trickster and always gets them in trouble. Annie is a sweet girl that just likes to have fun. Moose’s father has high expectations for Moose, and his father has to work two jobs and is rarely home. But with all this he still gets to have some fun on Mondays when Scott and he play ball with other kids. He has good times and bad times, but will this get him booted off the island?
Over all this is a great book because it is interesting about Alcatraz. It is a fiction book with a little view of a non fiction idea. Some of the people I have never heard before were great! The feeling was immense from one problem to another. I would greatly recommend this book to anybody especially historic fiction fans, Great Book!
