Al Capone Does My Shirts


This is Gennifer Choldenko's must-awaited second novel about a boy living on Alcatraz Island, where his father works as a guard in the 1930s. There he must make friends with the other guard's children, take care of his older autistic sister, Natalie, and learn a lot about himself, his family, his love of baseball, and the convicts that live on the island with him.
