A Book in Review: Al Capone Shines My Shoes

Al Capone Shines My Shoes By: Gennifer Choldenko
Fiction: children’s, historical 270 pages
Book count: 4

This is book two in a series. I reviewed the first book here. In this book there is much more story about life on Alcatraz/Al Capone. Moose's (the 12 year old main character) letter to AL Capone asking to get his sister in a nearby school for people with special needs seam to have worked. Now he owes him. He gets notes in his laundry from Capone, now he needs to figure what to do about it. If he doesn't do what Capone asks he fears that his sister will be kicked out of the school, but if he does it could cost his dad his job and his family their home. After this story there is a section of information on life on Alcatraz in the 1930's.
