The Alex Rider series has captured son #1's attention.
Secret missions,
Spy Gadgets,
Daring escapes,
These books have it all.
I picked up Point Blanc, the second in the series, earlier this week and right from page one I was hooked.
I could feel my blood pressure rising with each page. Sent to investigate a suspicious boarding school in the French Alps, fourteen year old British spy, Alex Rider, got way more than he bargained for.
Point Blanc was no ordinary school.
Dr. Grief was no ordinary principal.
If you're looking for a new series for your pre-teen boy, this is it.
I do have one mild complaint, however.
I read somewhere that author, Anthony Horowitz, says none of his main characters have parents because kids can't have fun when their parents are around.
As a parent, I truly hope this is not true.
What I do hope, however, is that my son stays put on his Alex Rider kick.
Reading on...
