Al Capone Does My Homework

Finally!  It's time for me to read the third book in the "Alcatraz" tales by Gennifer Choldenko!  I've read the first chapter three different times and keep getting interrupted by other books I need to read.  But tonight, nothing will keep me from snuggling up with this book and a nice hot cup of tea!  

Since I'm blogging BEFORE I've read the book, I'll simply include a blurb about it from Amazon.  Since this is the final book in the trilogy, I really wouldn't want to include any spoiler alerts here anyway.  I'm anticipating that book 3 will be the best.  I liked book 2 better than book 1!  And that's very unusual!  

 "Alcatraz Island in the 1930s isn't the most normal place to grow up, but it's home for Moose Flanagan, his autistic sister, Natalie, and all the families of the guards. When Moose's dad gets promoted to Associate Warden, despite being an unlikely candidate, it's a big deal. But the cons have a point system for targeting prison employees, and his dad is now in serious danger. After a fire starts in the Flanagan's apartment, Natalie is blamed, and Moose bands with the other kids to track down the possible arsonist. Then Moose gets a cryptic note from the notorious Al Capone himself. Is Capone trying to protect Moose's dad too? If Moose can't figure out what Capone's note means, it may be too late."  -from Amazon.com

Happy Trilogy Reading!
