(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Moose (Al Capone Does My Shirts) negotiates friendships, crushes, and grudges among his friends at school and on Alcatraz Island, where he lives. When drama with the kids gives way to intrigue among the cons, it's up to the children to foil a dangerous escape plan. The historical details of daily life on Alcatraz in 1935 remain as interesting as ever.
