Stormbreaker
by Anthony Horowitz
I think the thing that stood out to me when I read this book as a young teen was the sheer scale of the missions Alex was able to be a part of and succeed in completing. I also remember enjoying how inventive and mature he was, as it helped dissuade the notion that things like courage or character only become apparent at a mature age. However, I never really felt like I knew Alex as a person outside of his extraordinary capabilities and at times that left him appearing rather emotionless, which is kind of hard to believe considering the high-pressured and intensely dangerous situations he often found himself in. In fact, I think the scars (as I imagine there must have been some) his extraordinary life left on him should have been much more apparent, even if he didn't work through them explicitly in the book due to his young age.
