Stormbreaker

By Anthony Horowitz 44444

This is a story about a fourteen-year-old boy named Alex Rider. Alex lived with his uncle ever since both of his parents died when he was very young. One day, the police came to his house and told him that his uncle, Ian Rider, had died in a “car accident”. Of course Alex didn’t believe them when they said he had not been wearing a seatbelt. After school one day Alex saw his uncle’s car in the place where they squish cars and recycle them. He got into the car to look around. All of a sudden, a big claw that brings the car to the “car squisher” picked up the car with Alex in it. He finally got out but then the guys who worked there started fighting him. He fought back and escaped because he was a black belt in karate.

A few days later a man who worked with his uncle came to his door. This man took Alex to an office that was right next to his uncles office and left him there. Alex climbed out of the window and overheard two men speaking in his uncle's office. They said his uncle had been a spy working for M16 and had been preparing Alex for spy work. From then on Alex had to be an undercover agent for M16. It was up to hm to crack the case.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes action, adventure and mysteries. Oh yeah -they made this into a movie.
