“You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them,” Desmond Tutu. Al Capone Does My Shirt by Gennifer Choldenko takes place on the Devil’s Island, a notorious prison for it uses to incarcerate the worst prisoners during The Great Depression. Moose and his family (the Flanagans) moves there because his dad has received a job there as a guard. After moving over, since Moose’s parents were very busy at working, he cannot play or do other activities after school because he has to look after his older sister, Natalie, who has autism, every day. Living on the island over time, Natalie meets Criminal 105, Onion, and develops an abnormal bond. Although Moose didn’t like Natalie talk to Onion, Moose will never blame Natalie of her wrong-doings because he knew family can never give up on each other and she is just trying to make friends.
