Negative Positive
Title: Great read!!
Review: This book is for not only Capone and Alcatraz buffs but also anyone who likes a good story. Gennifer Choldenko does a wonderful job of painting a picture of what it is like to live at Alcatraz and what is like to have special relationships with friends and family.As a 7th grader, Moose finds himself living on Alcatraz Island because his dad got a job as a guard at the prison because times are tough in the 30's and it was the only job he could get. Moose quickly makes friends with the few children on the island, but finds it difficult to include his sister Natalie in everything. Natalie, who is autistic, is simply content in going outside and counting things. Moose and Natalie's mother think that Natalie can be cured or fixed and tries to change everything about her. Moose realizes how special his sister is and how much of an effect he has on her.
