Alcatraz Series by Gennifer Choldenko

After reading it, I fell in love with the book Al Capone Does My Shirts, as a result I then read Al Capone Shines My Shoes, which was an amazing sequel to the series. Quite recently, I walked into Barnes and Noble, looking for The Fault in Our Stars, and came across Al Capone Does My Homework. Compared to the other two books in the trilogy, the last book was unbearably ludicrous, and unrealistic. If you are looking for light reading, I highly recommend the first two books of the trilogy, but the third one is close to unbearable.

Age Recomendation: 7-12

My Mom was in the kitchen making breakfast, I woke up to the sound of the wind rushing through the leaves of the tree in front of my window. I sat up and got an early view of Frankenstorm, hurricane Sandy through my bedroom window. It was raining and the first traces of what was to be a HUGE hurricane where already showing, but Sandy was to come.....

Check for an update on the storm soon!
