Ali Cross: 1

Product Information

This book differs from the previous two books and the title seems misleading. Ali isn’t actually solving any crimes as he’s caught up in tensions between the police and the public. The story itself is thought-provoking but it’s not what readers might expect when they start the book. Ali Cross has always looked up to his father, former detective and FBI agent Alex Cross. While solving some of the nation's most challenging crimes, his father always kept his head and did the right thing. Can Ali have the same strength and resolve? Patterson is passionate about children’s literacy, driven by the firm belief that “There’s no such thing as a kid who hates reading. There are kids who love reading, and kids who are reading the wrong books”. With a detective for a dad and knowing other officers, Ali struggles with all of the anger against the police force, but he knows the community is right too, in many situations. In fact, if anyone had asked me, I would have told them there was only one thing I wanted for Christmas that year. I wanted Gabe Qualls to be found.

Get started Close Now the Yang family was suing Dad and the police department for assault. Maybe also for murder, depending on whether Mr. Yang survived.What I really enjoyed about this novel was that it was a very believable and plausible mystery in which the adult (Alex Cross) also gets a POV and is involved in solving the mystery of Ali's missing friend and the string of break-and-enters in their neighbourhood (because if I'm being honest, most middle-grade mysteries are pretty far-fetched). Se tratan muchos temas interesantes como la violencia policial, el maltrato y la delincuencia y a la vez se introducen elementos muy atractivos para la edad, como los videojuegos. Ali Cross, son of Alex Cross has recently solved two big Police Cases and the taste of adventure has whetted his appetite for more. Every family has one child that goes against the norm, like Ali, I was that child, and I wanted to know more. I was the child who searched through documents and asked questions the elders thought their meager explanations should satisfy. Following in my footsteps is my niece, we are the two people in our family that know the most concerning family secrets, and total truths. While we may have aggravated our elders, we really never put ourselves in danger, which is what Ali Cross always manages to do. Kudos, Mr. Patterson, for another great piece in the Cross series. This one has remained solid and I do wish you would focus on those pieces that are stellar, rather than mass producing every idea brought to your feet, for money and acclaim. Alex’s son Ali may not be the most athletic in the family, but he is keen to follow in his Dad’s footsteps as a detective.

Ali Cross Series by James Patterson - Goodreads

The main topic of the book is a current event that’s also an important social issue. The role of the police in society is debated, both figuratively and literally. The catalyst this time involves the shooting of a gang member by a policeman trying to stop a shootout between opposing gangs. The boy isn’t seriously hurt but it ignites deep feelings by people with conflicting thoughts. One side thinks the police are murderers and that their excessive use of force is a threat to citizens. The other view thinks the police are honest and caring and they’re trying to do their best in difficult situations. The author effectively shares ideas from both sides in an intriguing tale about a real-life problem.It had been three days since my friend disappeared and I was starting to think the worst might have happened. Alex Cross's son Ali is eager to follow in his father's footsteps as a detective, but when his best friend goes missing, what price will he have to pay to solve the mystery?
