This book is about two kids that live on an island people also call it Devil's Island. Moose and Natalie are brother and sister, and they live on the island where murderers, hit men, conmen, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, and kidnappers live, too. It’s really hard for them because there about twenty-three other kids because their dads work as guards, cook, doctors, electricians. Sometimes Moose sleeps with a bat just in case something happens. Also, Moose never gets to see his father because he works as an electrician and a guard so he works all day. Moose and his sister go to the morgue were dead criminals are.

They went in the morgue and looked at a tag that says Alphose Capone born in NY, Jan. 17, 1899 had a family and a wife named Mae. Son named Sonny also that he was a bootlegging gangster mob boss. They also called him Scar-face. He is dead but he was really dangers to be with so nobody worked with him when he was alive.

Moose is the main character in this story he hates his parents and doesn’t want to live on the devil’s island were murderers, mob bosses, and convicts live and his dad works all day that moose doesn’t see his father a lot but his mom is there sometimes there. Usually she buys food at a boat and she is gone for about 2hr and moose is stuck with her annoying sister Natalie, moose doesn’t like her because she makes new friends that annoy moose.

I think this book is very fun to read because I love to read about murderers and other things so I think this book would be very fun to read if you like this kind of things.
