Description
Moose and the cons are about to get a lot closer in this much-anticipated sequel to NEWBERY HONOR Al Capone Does My Shirts
It's 1935. Moose Flanagan lives on Alcatraz with his family, the other families of the guards, and a few hundred no-name hit men, con men, mad dog murderers and a handful of bank robbers too. And one of those cons has just done him a big favor.
You see, Moose has never met Al Capone, but a few weeks ago Moose wrote a letter to him asking him to use his influence to get his sister, Natalie, into a school she desperately needs in San Francisco. After Natalie got accepted, a note appeared in Moose?s freshly laundered shirt that said: Done.
As this book begins, Moose discovers a new note. This one says: Your turn. Is it really from Capone? What does it mean? Moose can't risk anything that might get his dad fired. But how can he ignore Al Capone?

3By Ordiwaya fullThis is an awesome book I have obviously the second and third book I did not realize it was the first one I have them in braille because I'm 100% blind.So awesome!!
5By Dolphins:)I suddenly got an interest for Alcatraz so I started reading books about it and I came across this one. I love it because it gives us facts in a fictional way. Please make a fourth one!!Al Capone Shines My Shoes
5By Gdude47I fell in love with whole Alcatraz idea, Moose, and the other characters in this book series as soon as I read the first book: Al Capone Does My Shirts and felt like I just had to finish the series it was so good, like I had to find out what would happen next to Moose, Piper, Annie, Theresa, Jimmy, Scout, Natalie, and even Janet. I normally don't like to read, and I only read when I find a book that I absolutely love. I obviously loved these two books, (I bought the third one: Al Capone Does My Homework before I bought and read the first one!) I hope that you too will buy, read, and enjoy this book as much as I did. I practically begged my parents to let me buy this book before they even said no.Good
