惡魔島版《長腿叔叔》的黑色小說
中文版 Al Capone Does My Shirts


  為了幫自閉症的姊姊入學,穆思勇敢的寫信給神祕的黑幫老大,卡彭老大是否真的如傳說般神通廣大呢?

  一九三五年一月,佛萊納根家的爸爸肯姆失業了。為了全家生計,他只好接受關有許多重刑犯的阿卡崔茲島──惡魔島,水電工和警衛的雙重工作。

  大女兒娜坦莉十六歲,是個自閉症患者,每天都在排列鈕釦、石頭、羽毛,或者「算數」中過日子;要是有人干擾,她就會高聲尖叫,無法抑止。他們向許多醫院、學校求助,付出了大把費用,卻一點辦法也沒有,甚至沒有地方願意收容娜坦莉。媽媽海倫是個家庭主婦,偶爾擔任鋼琴家教,賺點微薄的金錢補貼家用。為了女兒娜坦莉的病情,她焦慮萬分,也受盡折磨,只好採取逃避、退縮的駝鳥心態。

  故事敘述者是個十二歲的男孩,也就是娜坦莉的弟弟,名叫馬修,綽號「穆思」。到了惡魔島上,他得照顧永遠長不大的姊姊,必須遵從典獄長嚴厲的規矩,也要忍受典獄長女兒派珮兒的指使。學校同學對他們生活在拘禁黑幫分子的阿卡崔茲島上十分好奇。這讓派珮兒興起了「卡彭老大幫你洗襯衫」的生意念頭,因此惹出了許多麻煩。

  讓穆思最痛苦的是,為了照顧娜坦莉,他不得不失約於打棒球的朋友史考特。為了贖罪,他必須為史考特找到一顆黑幫老大打過的棒球。為了找這顆棒球,他竟然讓姊姊娜坦莉單獨留在荒郊野地,並且與監獄中的105號罪犯有了接觸,甚至一起牽手散步。如果姊姊受到傷害,他該如何向父母交代?

  面對姊姊多次被拒入學的危機,穆思焦慮萬分,他後來決定改變被動的習性,強烈要求派珮兒偷偷送一封信給黑幫老大卡彭,希望藉著卡彭的「影響力」,幫助姊姊進入艾斯特‧馬利諾夫學校。

  沒想到,佛萊納根家終於接獲天大的好消息,艾斯特‧馬利諾夫學校願意接受娜坦莉入學。究竟發生了什麼事?真的是卡彭老大幫的忙嗎?

改版說明

《Al Capone Does My Shirts》一書於2005年榮獲美國紐伯瑞兒童文學銀牌獎,2006年東方出版社引進繁體中文版,以《卡彭老大幫我洗襯衫》直譯的方式呈現給讀者。卡彭老大是三O年代美國芝加哥地區著名的黑幫老大,傳說他神通廣,在監獄中仍可呼風喚雨,操控外界的犯罪組織,在美國是家喻戶曉的黑社會人物,許多電影也以他為拍攝的題材。但由於華人社會對他並不熟悉,我們特地在《卡彭老大幫我洗襯衫》改版的同時,選擇凸顯「黑幫老大」的象徵性,更名為《黑幫老大幫我洗襯衫》,希望讀過或尚未讀的讀者,都能因它的新面貌而更加喜愛它。

作者簡介

貞妮佛‧邱丹柯(Gennifer Choldenko)

  生長於一個熱鬧的大家庭,是家裡四個孩子當中最小的。「鼻涕蟲」是她在家裡的綽號。童年的大部分時光,她幾乎都騎著馬在南加州的岩丘峭壁間探險。

  貞妮佛還很小的時候,她那奇特的幽默感,早已在晚餐餐桌上亮相演出。從此以後,只要是古怪、好笑的事物,都被家人稱之為「貞妮佛式笑話」。

  她畢業於布蘭戴斯大學(Brandeis University),之後在羅德島設計學院(Rhode Island School of Design)學習插畫。她創作的第一本繪本是《發狂:關於跳月亮的那隻牛》(Moonstruck: The True Story of the Cow Who Jumped Over the Moon)。《學校圖書館學刊》稱這本書「熱鬧非凡」;國家教養中心也說這部作品「令人狂笑,肆無忌憚」;《出版週刊》更指稱它讓人「從頭笑到尾」。

  她的第一本小說《來自一名撒謊者和她的狗的筆記》(Notes from a Liar and Her Dog)獲選為《學校圖書館學刊》年度最佳好書、國際閱讀協會暨兒童圖書委員會最受兒童歡迎選書,並且贏得加州兒童圖書類圖書獎。《學校圖書館學刊》在一篇重點推薦書評中寫道:「邱丹柯處理文字極為精彩、巧妙詼諧。她的第一人稱敘述相當幽默諷刺,就和她筆下獨立自主的女主角一樣,總是出言不遜。」

  銷售超過200萬本的暢銷兒童小說《黑幫老大幫我洗襯衫》,是她所寫過的最具挑戰性的作品。她坦言,這輩子從未如此盡心盡力的做一件事,也從未如此驕傲的看待自己的成果。她姊姊患有嚴正的自閉症,正是她塑造故事中自閉症姊姊娜坦莉的靈感來源。她以「惡魔島」為故事背景的三部曲,受到《科克斯書評》讚譽為「當代兒童文學的基石系列」,《學校圖書館學刊》也推崇她以「卓越手法交織出歷史細節」。首部曲《黑幫老大幫我洗襯衫》已榮獲紐伯瑞兒童文學獎等十九個獎項,並授權翻譯成全球十一種語言。第二部作品《黑幫老大幫我擦皮鞋》(Al Capone Shines My Shoes)也獲得《科克斯書評》、《基督教科學箴言報》年度最佳兒童小說等多項殊榮;最新的《黑幫老大幫我寫作業》(Al Capone Does My Homework),更有令人意想不到故事結局。

  目前,貞妮佛‧邱丹柯和丈夫、兩個小孩住在舊金山灣區。不寫作時,她喜歡到動物園畫各種動物,尤其是鱷魚和烏龜,因為牠們總是動也不動!

The series as a whole so far 5/25
Format: Kindle
I read reviews before going into this book and I don't agree with one of the more harsh ones on the main trigger she had. It is stated clearly in the forward and it wasn't as blase as it was made out to be. It definitely is touched on more and hasn't just been brushed off as the series goes I definitely would recommend reading it. It's a good series just be for-warned I like the series as a whole. The characters are awesome I adore the fmc shes cute and adorable but also a badass. Though there are a bunch of holes for her that I feel like just got left out. The guys are interesting and shout out to yall for not making Gage a dragon. I'm tired of the broody ones who don't wanna talk aboit what they are being Dragons. Ki is my favorite You can definitely tell if is written by 2 different people though because the phrasing just doesn't match up and wouldn't be something people that age says. And it flip flops between them. I feel like there's substance without substance. We are 4 books in and we don't really know much back story on literally anyone more than right under surface deep. There are definitely favorite MMCs which is kind of disappointing since some get shoved to the wayside. Specifically both of the best friends. They're basically useless and it's made obvious as the books go on. As well as all the men are ungodly self deprecating. I enjoy the plot line for the most part like I said I enjoy the series its different and refreshing. I do feel like the series is being dragged out though unfortunately. And the latest cliff hanger was just meh. So hopefully the next book is the last one.

Wow!
Format: Kindle
This book was awesome! Seraphina and her family have moved to a new town. Her family is a bit... odd. She grew up learning how to protect herself from people who might hurt her. Bloodshed is a daily occurrence with her brothers and parents during their practice sessions, and it’s all fun and games unless you need to hide a body. Sera’s family is very close, and she’s been homeschooled most of her life. But in this new town she is going to start regular school as a senior at the local high school. Unfortunately, things at her school aren’t all they seem to be. Or perhaps more than they seem to be. Sera has her own demons to deal with, and she’s terrified her new friends will learn about her weird family and other issues and drop her like a rock. It turns out they have their own secrets as well. This story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next one! This book is well written and well edited. The heroine is spunky and has a great heart and wicked sense of humor.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry. That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there. First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions. That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point. For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact. I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.
