Alex Rider

by
  • (104 reviews)

    The world’s only teenage spy, Alex Rider, is one of the most popular book characters for young readers. The explosive action series aimed at 9-12 year olds was first published in 2000 and there are now ten books in the series as well as a prequel Russian Roulette , various graphic novel editions and a film that was made in 2006. And the boy spy is about to get even more famous: hype is already building for a TV series based on Point Blanc (book 2) coming soon.

    Written by bestselling British author Anthony Horowitz, the series has sold over 19 million copies worldwide and continues to thrill readers almost 20 years after its release. Horowitz is a master of action and crime, writing for both adults and children, including new James Bond and Sherlock Holmes novels as well as numerous TV episodes and films. He has been described as “the not-so-secret weapon to get boys reading” thanks to the fast-paced plots, full of twists and cliff-hangers.

    It’s best to start at the beginning of the series to get the back story. Book 1 Stormbreaker introduces us to 14 year old Alex Rider, a normal teenager thrust into working for MI6 in the wake of his uncle’s suspicious death. Before he knows it, he is operating in a murky world of secret gadgets, weapons, terrorists and most of all danger. We love the books for their fast-paced action and nail-biting mysteries and Toppsta readers do too. Check out their five star reviews for these exciting adventure stories, recommended for readers aged 9+
