ALEX RIDER Series
by Anthony Horowitz
Alex Rider is not a "typical" teenager. Following the untimely death of his beloved uncle, Alex is recruited by Britain's top-secret intelligence agency to investigate some of the most high profile and dangerous men in the world. Alex is quite reluctant to take on such a huge responsibility, and who can blame him? He's only 14 years old and he has his entire life ahead of him; more importantly, he needs time to mourn his tragic loss. Ultimately though, Alex chooses to accept his mission and help rid the world of evil.
As you're reading the books in this roller-coaster ride of a series, you'll probably forget at times how young Alex is. He faces challenges that even adults would find impossible to handle, including intense military training, high-speed chases and bullfights (and that's just a small sample). You'll be cheering for Alex every step of the way, as this brave and determined boy puts his life on the line to make the world a safer place for all.
In this feature, you'll learn more about Alex Rider and his heart-stopping adventures, meet the man who has written the books, take a fun quiz, and much more!
