Al Capone Does My Homework
Al Capone Does My Homework
Alcatraz Island in the 1930s isn't the most normal place to grow up, but it's home for Moose Flanagan, his autistic sister, Natalie, and all the families of the guards. When Moose's dad gets promoted to Associate Warden, despite being an unlikely candidate, it's a big deal. But the cons have a point system for targeting prison employees, and his dad is now in serious danger. After a fire starts in the Flanagan's apartment, Natalie is blamed, and Moose bands with the other kids to track down the possible arsonist. Then Moose gets a cryptic note from the notorious Al Capone himself. Is Capone trying to protect Moose's dad too? If Moose can't figure out what Capone's note means, it may be too late. The last heart-pounding installment in the New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor-winning Alcatraz trilogy is not to be missed!
1930 年代的阿爾卡特拉斯島並非尋常之地,但是這卻是穆斯‧弗拉那岡和他孤僻的姐姐娜塔莉以及所有獄吏的家。本來沒什麼希望升職的父親最後居然晉升為副典獄長,這可是件大事!但是不利的是,監獄裡有個評分制度是用來考核獄吏的,而他的父親現在岌岌可危。家裡發生火災後,大家都認為是娜塔莉造成的,於是穆斯和其他孩子聯合起來要找出縱火犯。後來穆斯從惡名昭彰的阿爾‧卡彭那得到了一張充滿暗語的字條。難道卡彭也想保護穆斯的父親嗎?如果穆斯解不開卡彭字條裡的暗語,可能就太遲了!本書為《紐約時報》暢銷書,是本驚心動魄的最新連載之作,榮獲紐伯瑞童書獎。阿爾卡特拉斯三部曲是您絕不能錯過的精采之作。
