Nick in Ms. Ludtke's room

Al Capone Does My Shirts by Genniffer Choldenko
In this book a 12 year old boy called Moose has a sister named Natalie who is 15 and has a mental problem. Moose and some other friends he meets, such as Piper, Jimmy, Abby, and Theresa do this project where they take people's clothes to Alcatrez. They live on Alcatrez and so they have the children's clothing washed by convicts, such as Al Capone. Read this book an find out what happens next. I think this book is a Newbery winner because of it's amazing story and characters.
