Good book! I liked it! ( )

Ali Cross is the son of famous detective Alex Cross. Alex is currently on suspension from the police force due to an incident in which Alex is accused of pushing the father of a suspect down a set of stairs putting him in a coma. Adding to the stress of the investigation is a friend of Ali's that has gone missing. Ali is frustrated with the pace of the search for his friend, so he uses some of the skills that he has learned from his father to begin his own inquiry.

The book, Ali Cross, successfully begins this new middle grade mystery series. Several twists and turns as well as the introduction of suspects and clues move this story along at a nice pace. Throughout the book, we get both Ali's perspective as well as that of Alex. The dual perspectives add interest as both investigations proceed though the book. Unfortunately, the characters in this story come off as a little flat. The character of Alex isn't developed as it should be since most middle grade readers won't be familiar with Alex Cross. Overall, the Ali Cross series shows promise and this book is a good introduction. ( )

Ali Cross, Book 1, James Patterson, author; Zeno Robinson, Andre Blake, narrators
Ali Cross is the son of the well known detective, Alex Cross. His stepmother, Bree, is also with the police department. Ali wants very much to be a detective too…RIGHT NOW! However, although he is only 10 years old, he dismisses that pertinent fact. He and his siblings are pretty worried about their dad. He is facing a trial. During an investigation, someone became belligerent. Alex stepped out of his way and the man fell down the steps. He is unconscious still. If he dies, Alex Cross could be charged with murder! The prosecutor said the man did not fall down accidentally, but was pushed by Alex.
As the trial approaches, Ali had enough to worry about, but then, his friend Gabe Qualls disappears. Did he run away? Was he kidnapped? Ali does not think the police are doing enough to find him. Ali loves his dad, and his dad is a cop, but Ali doesn’t think he likes all cops. Neither do many of the people in The Washington DC area where Ali lives. They refuse to give evidence when questioned. This behavior is not helpful, but it is not stressed in the book, as it should be.
I found myself seriously questioning the parenting skills of Ali’s folks. Ali often bent the rules or outright disobeyed them. His dad punished him occasionally, but apparently the punishment was not long enough to seriously deter Ali from disobeying them. Ali was arrogant, and selfish at times, only thinking of what he was feeling and not about the danger he might be putting someone else in, because he didn’t listen. Still most of the time, his disobedience was related to helping others. Yet, how do you ignore the fact that he put himself and others in danger by simply doing what he, at 10, thought was best.
When Ali calls his friends, Ruby and Mateo, who are siblings, and Cedric who looks like Lebron James, to help him look for Gabe, they use the game called Outpost that they all played, in order to find him. Clues are definitely there. In the process, Ali discovers how dangerous secrets can be when he is framed for a robbery. He winds up disappointing, not only his friends, but also his dad because sometimes a secret is like a lie, and those you hide the truth from feel they can no longer trust you. On the other side of the coin, however, is the fact that Ali also winds up helping to find Gabe and to set him free from several bad influences. He becomes a hero in the process. The moral is that rules sometimes have to be broken, but great care should be taken when one breaks them.
I found serious fault in the books message about the police and one’s responsibility for one’s own behavior. While everyone does break a rule at some time, it is not up to others to pay for the mistakes or damages that the rule-breaking causes. Alex, a good cop, sums up criminality by blaming the police and excusing the criminal because the message is that the criminal is sometimes being treated too harshly by the system and the cops. The plight of the victims, though, is never even mentioned or considered. Since I define cops as the good guys, I believe the book fell a bit short of the mark by not reinforcing obeying the laws and respecting others, including the police.
The audio was read very well by the two readers. I had two young grandkids with me in the car who listened to the book, as well, and they really enjoyed it. ( )

Probably my first book by Patterson--or shall I say, his ghostwriter?
Very predictable plot.
Ali is not a smart as Arty (Artemis Fowl).
For a series, it's not something I'd like to continue. ( )

Ali Cross wants to be just like his father, Alex Cross – a great detective. So when Ali’s friend Gabe goes missing, Ali immediately takes it upon himself to help crack the case.

It’s not that the police don’t seem to care, but at the same time they aren’t working fast enough for Ali’s liking. Ali gets his friends involved to help, even if it’s just by passing out flyers on the street and asking people in the surrounding neighborhoods if they’ve seen Gabe. Nothing, not even a suspension from school, will stop Ali from trying to find his friend. Meanwhile, at the same time, the Cross family is nervous about the upcoming trial for Alex Cross with the charges against him for “pushing” someone down the stairs while he was questioning the man.

The mystery around Gabe’s disappearance is one that is kind of hard to figure out. Did he run or was he kidnapped? Clues that Ali finds in his own investigation lead him to think that maybe Gabe left on his own or was forced to. After all, Gabe’s dad seems a little suspicious and maybe his appearance caused Gabe to run away due to abuse or something of the sort.

The story keeps you on your feet the entire time, not necessarily in the thriller sense, but in wanting to figure out what exactly happened to Gabe. What I really enjoyed is that you can see Ali’s emotions about everything that is going on, both with his missing friend and his dad’s upcoming trial… he’s taking on a lot emotionally for a middle school kid. He even gets so frustrated that he gets into a minor fight with another student at school (and to be fair, Ali was provoked). But really, when you’ve got this kind of stuff on your plate, who can blame you for blowing up a little?

This was a quick and interesting mystery novel by Patterson for the middle great/early young adult audience. Though I have never read any other book by James Patterson, I liked what he did here to create a spin-off of one of his most well-known mystery/crime series and gear it towards the younger audience. I can see the young fans of this book (possibly series?) wanting to read the Alex Cross books later on in their lives. I know I want to give them a shot now. ( )
