Al Capone Does My Shirts
With Alcatraz as the evocative backdrop for this highly original novel set in 1935, twelve-year-old Moose Flanagan tells about the travails of “the Rock,” where his father has taken a job. Hilarious antics are deftly interwoven with themes of isolation and imprisonment, compassion and connection.
