Since Stormbreaker was published in 2000 Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider has become a literary sensation. Now with brand new soft-feel covers we think this is the perfect time to introduce Alex Rider to a new generation. 

His first wave of readers are doing A-levels by now and leaving school - ready for a whole new bunch of 9+ year olds to get hooked on the heart-stopping, adrenalin-packed action that is Alex’s world. And what’s even better is that they won’t have to wait for Mr Horowitz to write the next book.

Why not dip into the taster extracts on every title right here on Lovereading4kids.

Clever, resourceful and never one to give up on his exploits, the schoolboy turned superspy who is forcibly recruited into MI6 has found himself in many far flung places in the world and even in space armed only with his own special set of secret gadgets.

You’ll find below the order the books were written so new readers can enjoy the story of Alex Rider as it develops across all the books.
