A review by evamadera1
Al Capone Shines My Shoes by Gennifer Choldenko

2.5

Choldenko did not do anything explicitly wrong in this book but she did include a few things in the narrative that rubbed e the wrong way. A side character made a few sexist comments which, while unfortunately typical of the time period never got pushed back upon. In fact, the main character turned to this character for "romantic" advice. I also felt uncomfortable with the portrayal of autism and the ways to "treat" it. I will not continue the series.
