3.0
Alex's uncle, the bank manager, dies in a car accident. But something doesn't quite add up - and then Alex finds his uncle's car all shot up. Then he finds out his uncle was killed on a top secret mission and he's being sent in to see if he can figure it out and catch them unaware since he is only a kid. Can he survive what killed his uncle?
This book reminds me of a slightly more grown up/less goofy Spy School. Same sort of idea, just aimed for a slightly older audience, so it's a little less ridiculous. Alex thinks he's pretty special - and he kind of is - but he's maybe a little full of himself. I'm intrigued by the concept and will probably read more eventually, but I'm not in a hurry to find the next book.
It's not the best "literature". There's pretty much just one character - none of the others are very fleshed out - and it's a little flashy action. But it's a semi entertaining read that I finished in under 2 hours and I wouldn't avoid picking up the next one. I was amused. But I will say I enjoyed the Spy School series more. Mostly because it didn't try to take itself very seriously.
I'll go 7 of 10 for enjoyment and 5 of 5 for readability.
