Book #24 Read in 2018
Al Capone Throws Me a Curve by Gennifer Choldenko
I was excited when offered a review copy of this fourth book in a great middle grade series; I did not even realize a new one was coming out. The author said that this is the book she was meant to write for this series. Will there be more? I am not sure but if not, this book did justice to wrap this series up. In this book, Moose is trying to get on the high school baseball team. Natalie is still a handful. Piper is still his sometimes friend/sometimes foe. But this book has a maturity to it that the others in the series did not have and that works well. I really enjoyed this book. I received a copy of it from the Amazon Vine program in exchange for a honest review.

I love this book. From beginning to end, it was like any other book I’ve read. It also has the best ending of any book I’ve read.
