1935I want to be on Alcatraz like I want poison oak on my private parts. But apparently nobody cares, because now Im Moose Flanagan, Alcatraz Island Boyall so my sister can go to the Esther P. Marinoff School, where kids wear their clothes inside out and there isnt a book in sight. Obedient Moose. I always do what Im supposed to do. When Mooses family moves to Alcatraz Island so his father can work as a guard and his sister can attend a special school in San Francisco, he has to leave his friends behind. But its worth it, right? If his sister, Natalie, can get help, maybe his family will finally be normal.But on Alcatraz his dad is so busy, hes never around. His moms preoccupation with Natalies condition today, it would be called autism is even worse now that theres no extended family to help.
