He has a lot to responsibilities placed on him and difficult decisions to make as the story unfolds, all of which speak to the maturity of the character. Moose is a typical kid surrounded by an interesting cast of characters, both from his life tied to the prison and away from it, each operating with their own agenda - some of which are easier for him to read than others. Moose’s parents have a lot to cope with from the politics of the island and the people who live there, trying to raise a family when everything is a ferry ride away, and caring for Moose’s older sister Natalie, unrecognized as affected by autism in the 1930s, when the story takes place. Moose’s father works in the corrections system so his family is one of several who live on Alcatraz Island.
At the center of the action is Moose Flanagan, a young teenager on the verge of starting high school with dreams of making the baseball team.
