Al Capone Throws Me a Curve

De: Gennifer Choldenko

Narrado por: Kirby Heyborne, Gennifer Choldenko

Return to Al Capone's Alcatraz with Newbery Honor-winning author Gennifer Choldenko in this charming addition to the beloved series about the son of a prison guard.

Moose Flanagan lives on a famous island in California: Alcatraz, home to some of the most dangerous prisoners in the United States in the 1930s. It's the summer before he starts high school, and Moose is going to play a lot of baseball and win a spot on the high school team. But he still needs to watch his special older sister, Natalie - and then the warden asks Moose to look after his two-faced, danger-loving daughter, Piper.

In the cell house there are rumors that the cons will a strike, and that Moose's father might step up to a new job. Moose is worried: What will this mean for their family, especially for Natalie, who's had some scary run-ins with prisoners? Then the unthinkable happens: Natalie winds up someplace she should never, ever go. And Moose has to rescue her.

The book was a short but great read. It had a great a storyline if you read this I suggest that you read the books before it but you can read it alone.

Great Ending to the Series

This series is so good! This book ties it up nicely. You really get to know the characters, and Kirby Heyborne does a great job bringing them to life. I was sad to see it end, but I think Gennifer Choldenko did the ending justice.

The Family Agrees

A great end to the Al Capone Book Series! You would enjoy this one even if you had not the others in the series. Great themes of compassion, courage, and friendship for the entire family to enjoy.

I’m happy, I’mSad

I loved this series, loved the reader and I’m sad it’s finished. I started this for a granddaughter and grandson, thinking they would love it and I ended up loving it. I hope she continues this, I loved the characters.
