Praise for the previous three Al Capone books:

'Choldenko continues to effectively develop the vivid historical setting (explained in greater depth in the back matter) as well as the tightly woven community.'- The Horn Book Magazine 'A powerful story of love and family that will please fans and newcomers.'- School Library Journal 'It's earnest Moose, always striving to do the right thing, who elevates this tale, like a hard-hit baseball, into the stratosphere.'- Kirkus Reviews, Starred review

'This worthy 'second ending' finishes on a hopeful note that series fans will embrace.'- Booklist, Starred review And then Moose gets the pitch of a lifetime and delivers a hit no one on Alcatraz will ever forget.ĭon't miss the rest of the Tales from Alcatraz series! Even the most dangerous criminal in the country-Al Capone. He must learn to stand up to people: His parents. Meanwhile, Moose must keep an eye on his fragile older sister, Natalie, as well as the warden's two-faced, danger-loving daughter, Piper, who has a crush on him. The problem? The captain will only let Moose and his best friend on if they get him something from Alcatraz-something impossible. It's the summer before high school, and he is desperate to get on the baseball team. Moose Flanagan's father is the assistant warden of Alcatraz-the roughest hard-time prison in America-so he and his family live on the island. Return to Al Capone's Alcatraz with Newbery Honor-winning author Gennifer Choldenko in this charming addition to the beloved series about the son of a prison guard.
