good for most ages above 11
This book was good. There were some bad role models and the story takes place on Alcatraz Island with Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and more. Moose is trying to keep Natalie, his sister, safe on this island. Overall though it has a really good message to you should not give up and try every alternitive.

Loved it.
I had to read this book over summer vacation for school. I thought I would hate reading it, but I actually really liked it. I even read the second book in the series, "Al Capone Shines My Shoes". Yes, there were some parts that made me uncomfortable, reading it at 11. Overall, awesome book. I loved Natalie.

Awsome book!
I enjoyed this book a lot. I couldn't put this book down until I finished it-- it was such a page-turner!. This book deals with a historical locus which caught both public and journalistic attention recently. The author cleverly evades the danger of being banal in its description of the place and rather renders the the story so vivid and interesting.

perfect for kids 10+
it refers to a beating with a bat-violence. piper delibritly breaks the rules moose follows-bad messages and bad role models. it does teach the difficultys of autism

You have to realize thats its fiction, but also that these kind of things really did happen.
This Book, I think, appeals to Boys more than girls. I could actually picture things in some parts of the book. All in all, the best book I have ever read.

A Great Book!! :)
This book is a good way to understand the difficulties of autism and as a 11 year old I loved it so much I just had to get the next book.

A must read for kids who feel trapped
I think this book is great for kids who feel trapped in one place and have no way to get out! Al Capone does my shirts is a great novel to get lost in and it'll make you cry to put it away.

I think it's ok.
Most of the inappropriate stuff is so subtle that some kids won't even catch it.
