April 2019 Book of the Month

Blimey, but can Anthony Horowitz pack huge amounts of tension, excitement and humour into his short stories! He shows off a breath-taking ability to conjure adventure out of the most unlikely beginnings, and in his hands even a trip to the dentist turns into a full-on, peril-laden caper. There’s everything in this collection that makes the Alex Rider novels so addictive: dangerous situations, daring escapes, gadgets galore. And of course, there’s Alex himself – super-smart, super-resourceful, super-cool.  Irresistible, unbeatable reading.

This is a really interesting collection of short stories for most ages. I really enjoyed reading them.

Alex Rider Secret Weapon is a collection of 7 short stories about Alex Rider. Alex Rider is a 14 year old spy who works for MI6. The collection describes some of his adventures that he is reluctantly dragged into, and used in, by the secret service. These books aren’t exactly part of the series which means it doesn’t matter if you haven’t read the rest of them. It gives a brief description of what has happened before, during the short stories, so readers who haven’t read the rest of the books can understand it just as well as if you have. I thought these books were really fun to read they don’t take very long and are a good pastime.... Read Full Review

Secret Weapon contains 7 - Yes 7 - amazing Alex Rider stories. Fans of the secret spy kid will love this latest book and if you have never been lucky enough to read Rider stories before this is the perfect place to start.

I am a massive Alex Rider fan and couldn't wait to get started on Secret Weapon.... Read Full Review

I really enjoyed these pocket fizzlers of short stories.

I really enjoyed these pocket fizzlers of short stories. They have all the right ingredients: A dash of humour, a flicker of thrill, a smidgen of crazy, and, of course, a potent punch of action. I find it astounding that you can fit so much into one story, a credit to the authors unrivaled skill in the genre. I haven't read very many Alex Rider books, but I followed these easily enough. Although this is a stereotypically boy's book, as a tomboy I still enjoyed this and although I wouldn't recommend it to younger readers, I still loved it.... Read Full Review
