Al Capone Does My Shirts is a historical fiction novel which depicts a boy’s struggles while giving a very accurate picture of life on Alcatraz Island and the characters who called it home in the late 1930s. I recommend this book to those of you who enjoy learning about history and have an interest in Al Capone and his likes. Because of its content (family matters and mobster characters), this novel would be a great choice for those of you who like to read and discuss books with your parents. Parents — you will enjoy this book.

According to a book review written by Susan Harrison, Artemis Fowl, “[Artemis Fowl includes] Fantastic stuff from beginning to end, Artemis Fowl is a rip-roaring, 21st-century romp of the highest order. The author has let his imagination run riot by combining folklore, fantasy, and a fistful of high-tech funk in an outrageously devilish book that could well do for fairies what Harry Potter has done for wizardry. But be warned: this is no gentle frolic, so don’t be fooled by the fairy subject matter. Instead, what we have here is well-written, sophisticated, rough ‘n’ tumble storytelling with enough high-octane attitude to make it a seriously cool read for anyone over the age of 10. ” I couldn’t agree more.
