It's 1935, and Moose and his family are moving... to Alcatraz. Aside from learning the ropes of his new neighborhood, Moose feels responsible to keep an eye on his sister, who has autism. The move is not the only change the family will experience as each member is challenged and grows throughout the novel. Through the engaging voice of Moose, Choldenko gives us a glimpse into a family dealing with disability, their stresses, joys, hopes, and frustrations.
