Alex Rider Series

Have you ever imagined a fourteen year version of James Bond? Well, if you read Stormbreaker, written by Anthony Horowitz, that image becomes a reality. Stormbreaker is about Alex Rider, a normal fourteen year old. However, when Alex's uncle dies, Alex discovers more of his uncle's secrets. One of them being that his uncle wasn't a banker, instead he is a spy working for British Intelligence Agency, M16. Now, M16 wants to recruit Alex, ignoring how he's only 14. As Alex has no choice, he reluctantly agrees to work for them. Unfortunately, Alex is dragged deeper into the secret world of espionage, and its dangers. Alex must take on a mad scientist with a plan to poison thousands of children with a single computer. Will he prevent the cold-blooded murders, or will he fail and allow him to get away with it? Read to find out!

There are currently 10 novels in the series. This is a great series to read if you love action novels.
There are many action filled moments and the plot and characters are great. However, the only con is that sometimes the action sequences are a little far-fetched and don't make that much sense. Other than that, this is a great series.

  1. I read this whole seris last year and was pretty upset when I found out that the 10th book was the last one. I forgot what happened at the end of the last one though so your going to have to tell me in class.

  2. I've read this series and I really liked it. I liked how you compared it to James Bond. It is fairely similar to that. Nice job.

  4. I heard that this series was really good. The plot though is a typical spy plot. I never read the series, but I think that it would be good.

  5. This sounds like a really good book, but 10 books in a series? That's a lot!
