Alex Rider
is a series of spy novels by Anthony Horowitz about a young
spy of the same name. Seven novels have been published to
date. The first novel, Stormbreaker was made into a film in
2006. The series has been compared to James Bond and
Rider is often referred to as a youthful version.
When
not on missions, Alex is cared for by his best friend and
caretaker Jack, probably being a shortened version of her
first name as she is a female. After his uncle's death,
due to assassination by Alex's worst enemy and professional
killer Yassen Gregorovich, Jack became his legal guardian and
stayed in England to care for him.
The friends
live in Chelsea, London, where Alex attends the local
Brooklands School. His school life is often interrupted
by the missions set by MI6. Alan Blunt is head of MI6's
Special Operations Branch and along with his
second-in-command, Tulip Jones, the two frequently appear
throughout the novels, usually to brief and debrief Alex with
his missions.
Not suitable
for the under 3's.
