I am reading the book Al Capone Does My Shirts, by Gennifer Choldenko. This Book is about a 13 year old boy named Moose who has an older sister named Natalie. She is 16, but she acts like she is eight, so Moose has to take care of her.
On Alcatraz things are not going so well for Moose, will he ever make any friends? I like this book because not many books are about jail or a sister with a handicap problem, and the setting is fantastic to!
My favorite quote from the book is, "Yep, but not the same school, remember? Your going to this nice place called the Esther P. Marinoff." I like this because it gives so much information about where she will go now. Sometimes it's hard for me to understand books that take place in another time, however this book is in 1935, and I can understand it. So that was a bonus feature for me. I still have not gotten to the part where Al Capone is in the story. I hope the story continues to stay as interesting as it is right now.

You can read the second one, Al Capone Shines My Shoes, it was just as fun as Al Capone Does My Shirts! When you read that, Moose meets Al Capone, they have a very interesting conversation What I like most about the book is how Natalie, his sister, acts. What I like most about her is her tantrums, when Moose has to do some funny stuff to make her calm down. I hope Gennifer Choldenko make a third one.
