A fantastic time to be alive for lots of people . . . but not thirteen-year-old Lizzie Kennedy, stuck at Miss Barstow’s snobby school for girls.

On those visits to his patients, she discovers a hidden dark side of the city—a side that’s full of secrets, rats, and rumors of the plague. The newspapers, her powerful uncle, and her beloved papa all deny that the plague has reached San Francisco. So why is the heart of the city under quarantine? Why are angry mobs trying to burn Chinatown to the ground? Why is Noah, the Chinese cook’s son, suddenly making Lizzie question everything she has known to be true? Ignoring the rules of race and class, Lizzie and Noah must put the pieces together in a heart-stopping race to save the people they love.

Moose and the cons are about to get a lot closer in this much-anticipated sequel.
It?s 1935. Moose Flanagan lives on Alcatraz with his family, the other families of the guards, and a few hundred no-name hit men, con men, mad dog murderers and a handful of bank robbers too. And one of those cons has just done him a big favor.
You see, Moose has never met Al Capone, but a few weeks ago Moose wrote a letter to him asking him to use his influence to get his sister, Natalie, into a school she desperately needs in San Francisco. After Natalie got accepted, a note appeared in Moose?s freshly laundered shirt that said: Done.
As this book begins, Moose discovers a new note. This one says: Your turn. Is it really from Capone? What does it mean? Moose can?t risk anything that might get his dad fired. But how can he ignore Al Capone?

A Newbery Honor BookToday I moved to a twelve-acre rock covered with cement, topped with bird turd and surrounded by water. I''m not the only kid who lives here. There''s my sister, Natalie, except she doesn''t count. And there are twenty-three other kids who live on the island because their dads work as guards or cook''s or doctors or electricians for the prison, like my dad does. Plus, there are a ton of murderers, rapists, hit men, con men, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, kidnappers and maybe even an innocent man or two, though I doubt it. The convicts we have are the kind other prisons don''t want. I never knew prisons could be picky, but I guess they can. You get to Alcatraz by being the worst of the worst. Unless you''re me. I came here because my mother said I had to."Choldenko''s pacing is exquisite. . . . [A] great read."—Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

Al Capone is causing trouble for Moose Flanagan again - but this time, is it deadly?It''s 1936, and Matthew ''Moose'' Flanagan lives on Alcatraz Island. No, really. His father''s just been promoted to deputy warden - so Moose, his mom and his autistic sixteen-year-old sister Natalie are expecting to enjoy some new benefits, even if everyone says his dad''s too nice for the job. The last thing they expect is for their apartment to burn down on his second day. The tight-knit community of prison guards, their wives and their children are a mixture of welcoming and accusing - even the nicest people (heck, even Moose''s mom) think Natalie probably had something to do with it - but Moose is sure she didn''t. Nat''s not dangerous, she''s just... different. Determined to prove his sister innocent, Moose and his gang of fellow ''inmate'' children must work quickly to find out just who started the fire - and why. But what they aren''t expecting is a note from an old ''friend'' of theirs: Alcatraz''s ''star boarder'' and the most famous gangster in America - maybe even the world - convict #85. Al Capone...
