My son and I read this book together over the course of a month before bedtime. I really enjoy the way the author mixes a historical figure like Al Capone with the fictional characters on Alcatraz island. Meaning much of this book is fiction with a sprinkling of reality. The story does provide tremendous insight into how life was like for the families that lived on Alcatraz island. These are the families of the prison guards and other support staff including the warden. Kids that grew up just outside the prison walls and spent their days in school in San Francisco and their evenings, weekends, and summers on Alcatraz island playing sports, and just being kids. It's not just fun and games all the time. The main character faces plenty of challenges with his sister, friends, girls, and of course Al Capone.

I am so glad I bought this book. I have already given several copies of the first book to teacher friends to use as outloud reading to their junior high classes. I am now retired after 43 years of teaching, but one thing that never changes is kids loving a book read to them. These books not only give them insight into the 1930's, but a glipse at the predjudice and insensitivity of dealing with special needs children.This book also has a wonderful way of showing forgiveness within a "family". The message that everyone makes mistakes, but forgiveness is the glue that keeps you together. What a great story.

My 7th grade students love this book! We first read Al Capone Does My Shirts and my students, who are reluctant readers, were engaged and completely invested in this book. Which is a huge feat for me to find a book that all my students enjoy and want to read. After the first Al Capone... book we immediately started reading the sequel, Al Capone Shines My Shoes, at the students request.As much as they loved the first book, they enjoy this book even more! It has a new villain in Darby Trixle, Natalie is at Ester P. Marinoff, and Moose actually has contact with Al Capone! They don't want to stop reading!As a teacher, I like any book that engages students but I find myself enjoying this book with the students. Even after the third time I've read it each day.While it is set in 1935, the language and situation the children on the island go through are relatable to today's students. Gennifer Choldenko touches on a lot of relevant issues such as autism, friendship, right/wrong, and forgiveness. Choldenko uses a lot of figurative language, especially similes that make the students (and myself) laugh out loud.This is a fun book and a great read for all students. Especially if you have a reluctant or non-reader. I highly recommend it!

My fifth and fourth grade students love these books!

We listened to the first audio book, "Al Capone does my Shirts" when we checked it out from the Library. As a family, we listened during a road trip to New Jersey. The story was amazing and wonderful. One of our sons has Autism and is non-verbal. He loved the story and wanted to listen to the audio book again and again. Needless to say, when the sequel was written, we had to purchase it. On another road trip to New Jersey, we listened to all of the disks. All three of my children were glued to the radio listening to what happened to Moose, Natalie, and the rest of the kids. It was better than T.V.! I think I saw a tear or two. You will enjoy this book, and you must read/listen to the first one too.

I love every single installment in this series, simply because I adore the characters and I want to continue to know what happens to them as their lives progress.

I did a book study with my 4th grade class using this book and they kids love the story.

I got this for my younger cousin as a Christmas present, he was super excited and began reading right away. A fun series for any kid who is interested in American history!
