Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko

5.0

This was one of those books I didn't have much interest in reading, but it was available in audio at my public library and is a Newbery Honor book, so I figured it was worth a try. I loved it. It was the kind of story that seems too unlikely to be made up, with a realistically complicated family, the discomfort of adolescence, stigmas of the 1930s, the glamor of Alcatraz criminals, and incredible love.
