Like Father, Like Son

This was my first experience with a Middle Grade mystery/detective story, and while it's a quick read, I felt it was good adaptation of the police procedural for younger readers.

It's a good mix between teen drama/angst and learning the important lessons that teens don't actually know everything they think they do, and that their actions have real world consequences.

I really appreciated there was a balance between being pro-police and pointing out the flaws that exist within the system. The main character, Ali, stands more so on the pro-police side since his father is on the force, but at school he constantly challenged by kids who demand that changes are needed. It was great to see young adults getting encouragement to take pro-active steps in creating the change they want to see in the world.

Loved the dual narration from own voices Zeno Robinson and Wayne Carr. They were great choices for this father and son duo.
