The Newbery Honor Book and New York Times Bestseller that is historical fiction with a hint of mystery about living at Alcatraz not as a prisoner, but as a kid meeting some of the most famous criminals in our history. Al Capone Does My Shirts has become an instant classic for all kids to read! Today I moved to Alcatraz, a twelve-acre rock covered with cement, topped with bird turd and surrounded by water. I'm not the only kid who lives here. There are twenty-three other kids who live on the island because their dads work as guards or cooks or doctors or electricians for the prison, like my dad does. And then there are a ton of murderers, rapists, hit men, con men, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, kidnappers and maybe even an innocent man or two, though I doubt it. The convicts we have are the kind other prisons don't want. I never knew prisons could be picky, but I guess they can. You get to Alcatraz by being the worst of the worst. Unless you're me. I came here because my mother said I had to.

Excerpt from What's a Capon and Why Up to the present time Capons have been enjoyed only by the wealthy and well-to-do classes, with the possible exception. Perhaps, of a very few expert poultrymen that had mastered the art and learned to perform the operation with the old style tools. Modern invention and ingenuity have placed the capon within the reach of every one with energy and ambition enough to feed and care for a chicken. In order to have some capons. All that is necessary is to remove the young cockerel's reproducing organs. These organs are not exposed on the outside of the body as they are in the larger animals, but are carried on the inside. You will find them just under the backbone. One on each side. And in line between the last two ribs. In order to remove these organs it is absolutely necessary to use some kind of instrument. The success of the operation will depend upon the character of the tools used. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
