Al Capone Book One-Book Review and Recommendation

Al Capone Does my shirts is a book by Gennifer Choldenko that takes place in 1935 in Alcatraz during the Great Depression. The book is about a 12 year old boy named Moose with his sister named Natalie which has a severe case of Autism. Moose's family lives on Alcatraz because his father has a job there as a prison guard and an electrician. Alcatraz is a prison where really bad criminals go. Natalie did not get accepted to Esther P. Marinoff which is a special needs school so Moose is stuck with her.

Some things we liked about the book is when Piper, a mean girl, makes people pay 5 cents to get their shirts washed by Al Capone. Another thing we liked about the story is when Natalie met one of the prisoners nicknamed onion gave her a baseball. One of our favorite phrases of the story is "Moose your better with Natalie than I am" said Mrs. Flanagan. We recommend this to people who like realistic and historical fiction.

Absolutely Normal Chaos-Book Review and Recommendation

Absolutely Normal Chaos By: Sharon Creech
Absolutely Normal Chaos is a great book teaching us about one of life's greatest lessons, not to judge a book by its cover, and that life can never be perfect, even though it seems when things get good and cant get better, things go horribly and can't get any worse.
The story line is how Carl Ray came to "The Big City" to find work and to find something else, a father. Carl Ray found out that the father raising him was not his biological father, so he went out to find his real father. On his journey he found out many life lessons more valuable then finding his father.
My favorite part in the book was when Mary Lou (the main character) had to go in the out house on Carl Rays farm and her hilarious remarks.
I strongly recommend this book to people who like comedy. If you happen to stumble on this book READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
