### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Highly recommended read for young people.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2015*

My son and I read this book together over the course of a month before bedtime.  I really enjoy the way the author mixes a historical figure like Al Capone with the fictional characters on Alcatraz island.  Meaning much of this book is fiction with a sprinkling of reality.  The story does provide tremendous insight into how life was like for the families that lived on Alcatraz island.  These are the families of the prison guards and other support staff including the warden.  Kids that grew up just outside the prison walls and spent their days in school in San Francisco and their evenings, weekends, and summers on Alcatraz island playing sports, and just being kids.  It's not just fun and games all the time.  The main character faces plenty of challenges with his sister, friends, girls, and of course Al Capone.

    Better than the first one!
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023*

I read the first book with my students and they loved it so much, they requested we read the second in the series. We unanimously agree it’s even better than the first!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Wonderfully enjoyable series!
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2013*

Al Capone Shines My Shoes is a direct sequel to the first, "Al Capone Does My Shirts." Although these books would probably be rated for young readers, I, as an older man, enjoyed them both immensely, and can hardly wait for Gennifer to release her upcoming third in series.  The story has a wonderful interest partly because it takes place on Alcatraz Island in the year 1935, when Capone, Machine gun-Kelly, and other depression-era gangsters were imprisoned there. The story is told from the viewpoint of  "Moose," a young schoolboy who lives in civilian quarters on the island because his father works there as an employee of the prison.  These are the most enjoyable books I have read in a long while. Great characterization, and genuine descriptions of depression-era Alcatraz complete with aerial photos of the island with key areas noted. Thank you, Gennifer Cholenko !
