Absolutely loving the sequel to Al Capone Does My Shirts!  I can't believe that I'm enjoying it more than the first book.  Usually, that doesn't happen.  You know you like a book when you make time during the day to read it more than once!  Even when your day is as busy as mine!  

So, the story picks up right where it left off in "Does My Shirts".  Al Capone has come through with Moose's request to get his sister, Natalie, into the Esther P. Marinoff School and now he wants something in return.  Of course he does... So he sends Moose notes reminding him that it's "his turn" to help.  What's unbelievable is that Moose actually gets to meet Capone.  Face to face.  

All the characters have returned, with the exception of #105 "Onion", who was released back into society.  Natalie has gone to school in San Francisco, so she isn't a huge part of the book so far.  

I'm currently on page 88, Chapter 13.  I highly recommend it so far and am excited that Choldenko is writing the final in the trilogy.  

Happy Reading! (book #9 for me!)
