Al Capone does My Shirts

I want to be here as much as I want poison oak on my private parts.”

Welcome to Moose’s new life: life on Alcatraz Island! It’s a life filled with secret buildings, restricted areas of the island, and mystery. Most importantly, it’s a life where Moose has to constantly look after his sister Natalie. When Natalie was turned down from a special school she becomes Moose’s charge. Forced into caring for Natalie every day after school, Moose has to sacrifice baseball, hanging out with friends, and the other things middle school boys like to do.

Finally Moose decides to start having fun again… which means he HAS to take Natalie along with him. Little does he know the trouble in store for him on Alcatraz Island

Al Capone Does My Shirts is a heart-warming story about a young boy forced into the caretaker role over his sister. The compassion and love Moose shows for Natalie is sure to move any reader, and make you think twice before your next sibling rivalry.
