I had no idea Horowitz created this series for young adults. According to Wikipedia, “Alex Rider is a series of spy novels by the English author Anthony Horowitz. The novels revolve around a teenaged spy named Alex Rider and are primarily aimed towards young adults. The series currently comprises 14 novels, as well as six graphic novels, seven short stories, and a supplementary book.“
I'll have to check these out!
pickThere are similarities to Silverfin, Higson‘s James bond book, and that made a few parts more predictable, but there were parts later on that were more original. I liked it, but I wouldn‘t say it was by favorite. It‘s pg13 rating violence. The other parts of the series are really complicated with in between books. If I would continue the series, I wouldn‘t know which one to read next.
Kids are dying mysteriously at a swiss boarding school, and Alex Rider, reluctant teen super spy, is going undercover to find out why. But the mystery he uncovers is more nefarious than he'd expected, and now the clock is ticking on Alex's mission.
Due out on the 7th September, I've ordered the latest addition to the Alex Rider series of books. My two eldest grandchildren really like this series. Amazon has a box set of 10 for £17.45 which I thought is good value. Its a shame that I had already purchased them individually at virtually full price.
They said his Uncle Ian died in a car accident. Alex Rider knows that's a lie, and the bullet holes in his uncle's car confirm the truth. But nothing can prepare him for the news that the uncle he always thought he knew was really a spy for Britain's top secret intelligence agency. Enlisted to find his uncle's killers and complete Ian's mission, Alex suddenly finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with no way out.

Another very good book written by Anthony Horowitz. At points you have to suspend belief with a teenage spy but this was well set up. Really enjoyed the storyline and the writing style. An excellent YA fiction and I look forward to continuing with the series. #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView
