Ali Cross is the new series for readers 9+ by James Patterson, one of the world’s most popular authors.
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”.
