Al Capone Shines my Shoes by: Gennifer Choldenko

Al Capone Shines My Shoes is a historical fiction book about a boy named Moose. He lives on Alcatraz island with his autistic sister and a few other kids. This book is the sequel to the well known book, Al Capone Does My Shirts, and if you liked that one you're sure to love this one.
A lot has happened since the last book and now Moose's sister, Natalie, is at the Esther P. Marinoff school. She is coming back to visit the family on Alcatraz soon, but only for a week. That soon changes after Natalie brings home some mysterious items, getting everyone into trouble. Moose, while having to deal with Natalie, is having some problems of his own. All his friends have deserted him and he has no idea why! Even Jimmy, his best friend, who is mad at Moose for a couple of things. Things start to get a little awkward between Moose and two of the other kids named Piper and Annie. Moose and Piper have a little thing for each other and Annie can't stand it because she has a crush on Moose too. Suddenly something terrifying happens on the island and the kids have to work together to save the day. Natalie surprises everyone by having a leading part in saving the island. That changed her reputation forever in a very good way. We really enjoyed this book and hope you do too!
