Reader’s Review
A fast-paced mystery full of suspense and drama, that is likely to keep the attention of most middle schoolers. Although Ali breaks rules and sneaks out on a number of occasions, it’s always to save his friend, and the strong relationship between him and his dad is nice to see. The constant turn of events and dangerous situations Ali gets himself into maybe too much for younger or sensitive readers.
