Moose Flannagan moves with his family to Alcatraz so his dad can work as a prison guard and his sister, Natalie, can attend a special school. But Natalie has autism, and when she's denied admittance to the school, the stark setting of Alcatraz begins to unravel the tenuous coping mechanisms Moose's family has used for dealing with her disorder.When Moose meets Piper, the cute daughter of the Warden, he knows right off she's trouble. But she's also strangely irresistible. All Moose wants to do is protect Natalie, live up to his parents' expectations, and stay out of trouble. But on Alcatraz, trouble is never very far away.
Set in 1935, when guards actually lived on Alcatraz Island with their families. Choldenko's second novel brings humor to the complexities of family dynamics and illuminates the real struggle of a kid trying to free himself from the "good boy" stance he's taken his whole life.

It’s half the size of the last one that I purchased. It’s hard to tell from the pictures sometimes.
Should always check the dimensions of items because the pictures can mislead you sometimes
The bonus is a great product. It lasts a long time and it doesn’t break. I give this product five stars excellent but the size I purchased is for a smaller dog. Best Bone is what Wakanda growled.
Thanks everybody 🚀🇺🇸

Durable Toy That Keeps Dogs Happy and Busy
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
The KONG Ring is a tough, well-made chew toy that’s perfect for dogs who love to gnaw and stay active. Made from durable natural rubber, it holds up well to regular chewing while remaining gentle on teeth and gums. I like that it helps support dental health while also satisfying a dog’s natural urge to chew. It’s great for both solo play and interactive games, keeping dogs entertained and engaged. Overall, it’s a reliable, long-lasting toy that most small to medium dogs will really enjoy. My new granddog love it and spends hours chewing on hers.

Highly recommend- great quality, durable, and great for puppies and chewers!
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
We purchased this for our Australian Shepherd puppy who is teething and this is a high quality dog chew toy! It’s a little smaller than I expected but still a nice size for her. We put it in the freezer so it is cold on her teeth. She carries this around and chews on it and it has been a wonderful toy for her! It is durable, thick and solid, doesn’t squeak, and is a safe toy for her! I would highly recommend this if you have a super chewer dog, puppy who is teething or looking for a quality dog chew toy!

Very durable
Size: Medium, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Very durable, most KONG's in this material is long lasting for aggressive chewers like mine. If you have similar red Kong toys, you know what to expect
