Fourteen-year-old Alex is forcibly recruited into MI6 after discovering that the death of his mild-mannered uncle/legal guardian was no accident. In fact, the murdered man was not a bank manager, but a spy. The series features colorfully sinister villains, exhilarating chases, deadly animals and fun James Bond-style gadgets with a twist. Those gadgets doled out to Alex are designed to look like things a teen might be likely to own, like “zit cream” that eats through metal. Free of naughty language, and while people do get killed, blood never seems to splatter, which makes the series both kid-and teen-friendly. –Kate D.-

The start to one of my favorite series ever, but it felt rather corny.
classic case of watching a tv show based on a middle grade book series and HAVING to read the series immediately following. i love a spy novel. i found the in depth descriptions of vehicles and gadgets a little funky and it’s def a product of its time but i think it slayed.
"We have to send someone in who won't be noticed. Someone who can look around and report back without being seen. We were considering sending down a woman. She might be able to slip in as a cleaner or a kitchen helper.'"
sexist
dull main character but is somehow sassy
no 14 year old is like this but I imagine how it would be fun for kids to imagine them in the place of the mc
Gap and Nike, the car and gun models, is Horowitz running an advertisement business
a cheaper kid's version of James Bond
convenient twists and evidence
the level of violence for a middle grade is surprising
impressionable for the young audience this is made for and I don't mean that in a good way
fast paces
can be finished in one sitting
gets you out of a slump
mindless lit
the nostalgia of my own adolescence

I've read this book when I was in Junior High and then again a couple of days ago. I liked this a lot better when I was in Junior High. I think I'm a little past that age now; however, this book is action packed and has interesting twists. I would definately recommend this book to Junior High or High School age teenagers.
