Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer CholdenkoReviewed by Panic!atthelibrary, grade 7
Al Capone Does My Shirts is about a boy named Moose whose dad gets a job working on Alcatraz. Alcatraz is an island for prisoners near San Francisco. Moose has an autistic sister named Natalie who is trying to get into the Esther P. Marinoff school so she can have a good future, but can't seem to get in. I really liked this book because Moose really cares about his sister, and the way that he solves the problem is very interesting.
