The core polarization effects for the electric quadrupole moments of the neutron-rich {sup 31}Al, {sup 33}Al, and {sup 35}Al isotopes in the vicinity of the island of inversion are investigated by means of the microscopic particle-vibration coupling model in which the Skyrme Hartee-Fock-Bogoliubov and quasiparticle random-phase approximations are used to calculate the single-quasiparticle wave functions and the excitation modes. It is found that the polarization charge for the proton 1d{sub 5/2} hole state in {sup 33}Al is quite sensitive to coupling to the neutrons in the pf-shell associated with the pairing correlations and that the polarization charge in {sup 35}Al becomes larger due to the stronger collectivity of the low-lying quadrupole vibrational mode in the neighboring {sup 36}Si nucleus.
