![]() ![]() ![]() You get to Alcatraz by being the worst of the worst. I never knew prisons could be picky, but I guess they can. The convicts we have are the kind other prisons don't want. And then there are a ton of murderers, rapists, hit men, con men, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, kidnappers and maybe even an innocent man or two, though I doubt it. There are twenty-three other kids who live on the island because their dads work as guards or cooks or doctors or electricians for the prison, like my dad does. Today I moved to Alcatraz, a twelve-acre rock covered with cement, topped with bird turd and surrounded by water. Al Capone Does My Shirts has become an instant classic for all kids to read! Synopsis: The Newbery Honor Book and New York Times Bestseller that is historical fiction with a hint of mystery about living at Alcatraz not as a prisoner, but as a kid meeting some of the most famous criminals in our history. ![]()
