Al Capone Does My Homework
Al Capone Does My Homework | Gennifer Choldenko
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
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. The last heart-pounding installment in the New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor-winning Alcatraz trilogy is not to be missed! "Superlative historical fiction." -- School Library Journal (starred review for Al Capone Shines My Shoes)

From the New York Times Best Selling series, Al Capone Does my Homework ends the trilogy with continuous mystery and action! Moose is the proud son of the Alcatraz warden, but soon the family will face threatening challenges. Moose begins to learn he can only control his own actions, even though he feels responsible for everyone he knows. #ucflae3414fl19

ESOL strategy 4. Link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge could also be used to complete the series evaluation. 5y
DrSpalding I‘m not sure students would have prior knowledge of this without having been exposed to a social studies unit however I like the idea of an author study. 5y

Last spring I got to visit Alcatraz while in San Francisco. Even though it's a very touristy thing to do I loved it. In the gift shop I was pleased to see they had a great selection of books and I walked away with this #green one. I love this middle grade series about a boy and his family living on Alcatraz Island. Back when the prison was still operational the prison guards and their families lived on the island.
