A good middle grade read about a 14 year old boy who unwilling becomes a detective and a hero.
Teenage James Bond! Good fun. This is technically a YA book, but it's really accessable to boys ages 9 and up. Alex Rider finds out his uncle wasn't killed in an auto accident - he was killed because he was a spy, then has to step into his shoes to please MI-6.
At times preposterous (a 14 year old using a Q-esqe zipwire to pull himself into an airborn cargo plane?) this is so action packed it will be a boon to many a male middle-school reluctant reader, and will make most adults smile.

I came into this series too late. But still: I can at least confirm what fans have been saying since 2001 - this series is perfect.
I have only read the first book but it was everything I wanted. Alex is the replacement for Artemis Fowl. He's sarcastic, he's intelligent, he's trained.
I can't wait to finish book two (currently reading it now).

Don't @ me right now. Had a nostalgia hankering with the tv show coming out. It was still fun and enjoyable but also,,, so much more child labor exploitation than I remembered from middle school
I wanted to watch the movie and thought I should read the book first at least. This is not as good as Horowitz adult novels but it's good to read where he honed his craft. I would probably have loved these more as a child but I still plan on reading the remaining books nevertheless.
