Reseña del editor:
Return to Al Capone's Alcatraz with Newbery Honor-winning author Gennifer Choldenko in this charming addition to the beloved series about the son of a prison guard.
Moose Flanagan lives on a famous island in California: Alcatraz, home to some of the most dangerous prisoners in the United States in the 1930s. It's the summer before he starts high school, and Moose is going to play a lot of baseball and win a spot on the high school team. But he still needs to watch his special older sister, Natalie--and then the warden asks Moose to look after his two-faced, danger-loving daughter, Piper.
In the cell house there are rumors that the cons will a strike, and that Moose's father might step up to a new job. Moose is worried: What will this mean for their family, especially for Natalie, who's had some scary run-ins with prisoners? Then the unthinkable happens: Natalie winds up someplace she should never, ever go. And Moose has to rescue her.
Don't miss the rest of the Tales from Alcatraz series!

Her quirky sense of humor made its debut at the dinner table when Gennifer was a very little kid. She is the author of seven childrens books, including Notes from a Liar and Her Dog, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year; If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period; and Al Capone Shines My Shoes.Excerpt. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.Tuesday, May 26, 1936Even when you live on a prison island with crafty criminals plotting ways to knock you off, summer is the best time of the year.No tests. No homework. No getting up early to catch the ferry. No teachers who think you flunked a few grades because youre kind of big for thirteen and a half.Summer is freedom. Not for the prisoners, of course. But for us kids who live on Alcatraz Island.Naturally, summer on Alcatraz isnt like summer other places. For one thing, the weather in the San Francisco Bay can be colder and foggier than in winter. For another, kids cant go many places on the island. Were not allowed in the cell house, in the industry buildings, in the west-side gardens, on most of the beaches, and in all the guard towers.Our fathers work in the prison up top, so theyre allowed everywhere. But even with restricted access, there are two decent spots to play baseball: the parade grounds and down by the dock. And theres one other Alcatraz kid who can really play.Shes a girl. But still.Baseball . . . thats what Im thinking about as I shovel in my breakfast toast, hoping the last five days of school will go fast.My father fr. Nº de ref. del artículo: DADAX1101938161
