Al Capone Shines My Shoes
by Gennifer Choldenko | Grades: 4-6 | Lexile 620 | Reading Level 3.8
What do you do when your neighbors are a bunch of hit men, con men, and mad dog murderers? Well, if you're Moose Flanagan, you ask the most notorious convict of them all, Al Capone, for help. But when that convict comes through for you--and then asks you for a favor in return--suddenly it's a whole different ball game.
Picking up where the Newbery-Honor winning Al Capone Does My Shirts left off, this lively second romp featuring Moose, his friends, and some of Alcatraz's "finest" is just as satisfying as the first.
