I'm reading Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko. It's about a boy named Moose who loves to play baseball, but his only obstacle is that he lives on Alcatraz [the home of many convicts]. You will probably like this book if you love baseball or if you're looking for a good book to read.
This book draws you in and makes you want to read more. It has action, suspense and even some sadness. Moose's family doesn't have much money and he has a sister that is mentally disabled. So he always has to look after her, because his parent are working a lot. Their situation makes you feel bad for them, which makes you want to read more and more and never want to stop. That's the way I feel about this book and you might feel the same.
I really really love this book and if you decide you're going to take a pass on this suggestion, you're really missing out. Please give this book a try. I'll bet you'll find it amazing.
I would love to read about what you are thinking about as you read. Remember, you can use the Cheat Sheet (found in the column on the right) to find ideas to get you started.
