Choldenko layers her narrative with comical and poignant plot twists...This is superlative historical fiction...." "Effortless period dialogue, fully developed secondary characters and a perfectly paced plot combine to create a solid-gold sequel that will not disappoint." Publisher's noteMoose and the cons are about to get a lot closer in this much-anticipated sequel. Itas 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 Mooseas 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 canat risk anything that might get his dad fired. But how can he ignore Al Capone? Living on Alcatraz in 1935 with his family and father who is employed as a guard, Moose decides to write prisoner Al Capone a note to see if he could use his influence to get his sister into the school of her dreams, but after it happens and he receives a note asking for a favor in return, Moose realizes that he has gotten in way over his head. AnnotationThe sequel to AL CAPONE DOES MY SHIRTS finds Moose in the awkward position of owing Al Capone a favor after a note stating "Your turn" appears in the laundry. Pondering this potentially scary turn of events, Moose is soon in trouble with just about everyone. Plus, there's a lot going on in the small Alcatraz community involving all sorts of complicated maneuvers! Will Moose help Al Capone with his mysterious project (not breaking out of prison, he hopes) or go another route altogether?
