Al Capone Does My Shirts

This is a historical fiction book about a boy named Moose who moves to Alcatraz with his family. His dad works as an electrician and guard for the prison. In addition, there are a ton of murderers, hit men, con men, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, kidnappers and maybe even an innocent man or two. The convicts are the kind other prisons don't want. You get to Alcatraz by being the worst of the worst. Unless you're Moose. He came here because my mother said he had to.
