When I first moved here, I thought all the bad guys were on one side of the bars and all the good guys were on the other. But lately, I�ve begun to wonder . . . Moose�s family moved to Alcatraz so his father could work as a guard and his sister could attend a special school in San Francisco. Living on an island with a few hundred no-name hit men, con men, and mad dog murderers (and a handful of bank robbers, too) has its challenges. Like Officer Darby�who seems to have it in for Moose; Jimmy�who feels jealous of Moose�s baseball friend Scout; Annie�who demands that Moose fess up to a secret that could get his family kicked off Alcatraz; and Piper, the warden�s cute, danger-loving daughter�who is as mad at Moose as often as she is sweet on him. By comparison, Willy One Arm and Buddy Boy, the cons who work at the warden�s house, and Seven Fingers, the ax murderer who helps his family out when their toilet is stopped up, don�t seem all that bad. But the line between good and bad is much clearer than Moose realizes. And if he doesn�t figure it out soon, he could be in a world of trouble.
