Literacy Connection: Al Capone Does My Shirts
After my trip to Alcatraz, I am once again excited to share this book with some of my students. One of the great young adult books available right now is Al Capone Does My Shirts written by Gennifer Choldenko. This book chronicles the story of a young boy who's family moves to Alcatraz after his father lands a job as a prison guard. Rich with factual details and lovable characters, Al Capone Does My Shirts is a wonderful book to share with middle school students. I've used this book in my classroom before and my students really loved it!
