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?

Gennifer Choldenko received a B.A. from Brandeis University,
graduating cum laude with honors, and a B.F.A. in illustration from
the Rhode Island School of Design. Gennifer’s first picture book is
titled Moonstruck: The True Story of the Cow Who Jumped Over the
Moon. Reviewers called Moonstruck "hilarious" School Library
Journal, "hysterical, irreverent" National Parenting Center, and
"a giggle from beginning to end" Publishers Weekly. Gennifer was
the youngest in a family of four kids, where her nickname was
"Snot-Nose." Her quirky sense of humor made its debut at the dinner
table when Gennifer was a very little kid. After that, anything
strange and funny became known as a Gennifer Joke. Currently, she
lives in the San Francisco Bay area with her husband and their two
children. When she is not writing, she likes to draw animals at the
zoo, especially crocodiles and turtles because they lie perfectly
still. Notes From a Liar and Her Dog is her first novel for
children.
