Al Capone Does My Homework by Gennifer Choldenko





In the third book in the "Al Capone" series, set on Alcatraz in the 1930's, Moose is feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders now that his father is the assistant warden at the prison.  His older sister, Natalie, who has special needs, is suspected of setting a fire and Moose was home with her when it happened, but he fell asleep and is not entirely sure that Natalie is innocent.  Natalie is cleared, but there are other mysterious things going on that Moose and his friends need to investigate.  A hint from the notorious Al Capone helps Moose solve one puzzle.

Recommended for grades 4-6.  It is not necessary to have read the first two books in the series, but it does help.
