zbmorgan 's review for:

Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz
3.0

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.
