Editorial Reviews

KLIATT
Alex Rider, the infamous young spy of the popular Alex Rider series and cinematic fame (Stormbreaker), has reemerged in a new format: his own graphic novel. Alex is recruited into an elite British spy operation after the murder of his uncle, an intelligence agent. He is sent to investigate the too-good-to-be-true Stormbreaker computers and their suspiciously philanthropic creator, Darrius Sayle. Once in Stormbreaker headquarters, Alex finds Sayle's motives to be extremely malicious. Now embroiled in a deadly plot, he must save England from an impending lethal attack from Sayle. The Alex Rider espionage novels have been extremely popular and well received. This adaptation won't fail its readers: the art is strong and confident, and the writing is well paced and captivating. The entire nature of the story is extremely cinematic, from its opening pages that serve as a prologue to the main fare. An excellent addition to a ‘tween collection—this graphic novel has little objectionable content beyond what one may find in its PG-rated film counterpart. Give this to younger YAs who seek the action of graphic novels, but may not be old enough for many of the teen titles. This should be extremely popular for public and school libraries—if budgets allow, consider purchasing multiple copies.
From The Critics
The story begins in a London classroom where students are discussing what makes us what we are. Is it schooling, family, or something else? Alex explains it could not be family, as his parents died and an uncle who has a boring job in a bank in charge of customer care is raising him. After school, Alex's uncle calls him to say he is on his way home and that they would spend the weekend together. Out of nowhere, a gunman shoots his uncle and Alex learns the truth about who his uncle really was. He does not quite believe the story the police tell him about the way his uncle died, so Alex goes off on his own to find the truth. Special Agents from MIG intercept him and take him to their office. There they recruit him to do the same type of work his Uncle did for them. The story then takes the reader on an adventurous journey into the world of espionage, suspense, and evil. I understand why young adults would be drawn to this book, but I must admit that I do not particularly enjoy endorsing books that use killing, guns, and explosives to entertain our young people. That said, the book is well written and the illustrations are excellent. The character actually reminds me of a young James Bond and how he might have gotten his start in the world of spies. This is written in graphic form that is a favorite of mine, as I know it reaches students with a wide range of reading abilities. This is just one book in the series and I am sure more are to come, since the last words in the story are "The End?" I do recommend this book.

    Best Book I've Ever Read

    Have you ever wondered, if your parents died, who would take care of you? If you¿ve ever had this thought, this would be a book for you. Stormbreaker, by Anthony Harowitz, is an action packed book about a little boy named Alex. He is an orphan who lives with his uncle who is a spy. Alex thinks he is a security guard. One day Alex came from school and called his uncle. Right after the phone call, his uncle got shot. I think this is an interesting story. For example, when a worker drops the stormbreaker, the boss gave him a bad look. The worker said, ¿I won¿t do that again.¿ The boss said, ¿No you will not¿ and shot him. Another example is when Alex¿s uncle got shot. Anothony Harowitz writes, ¿Bang Bang.!¿ I recommend this book to jocks because it has a lot of action and they would enjoy this book. There is a lot of shooting in this book.
