Moose’s sister has got a place in the perfect school on the mainland, one that will help her deal with her autism. But there is one hitch. She got the place with the help of Al Capone and now it’s payback time.
Soon Moose is caught up in a terrible cycle of secrets and favours that threatens to destabilise his entire family in this nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat novel.
The second title to feature Moose Flanagan and his friends on Alcatraz, following the Carnegie Medal shortlisted Al Capone Does My Shirts
