Any book that is devoid of vampires that sparkle is okay by my son and he'd be more than happy to read it!

My son has a hard time reading. Any book that can capture his imagination for gadgets and adventure has a much better chance of keeping him in the pages. This series looks excellent for him and I'd love a chance to try it out on him.

Thanks MAKE for introducing this series to me.

My 10 year old son is a voracious reader. I just bought him the first 3 Alex Rider books this morning as Christmas stocking stuffers. This would be a great addition to the collection.

Seeding imagination and our story creation exercise

My 9-year old son and I have enjoyed reading the whole Alex Rider series together and it (along with other books from different genres) seeds our every-other-day story-writing exercise.

I owe a lot to Alex Rider

My son used to only read as a condition to earning time on his video games. When he picked up this series of books, he began to read for enjoyment in earnest. Every morning he now starts his day with a novel and those gaming systems are used less and less each week. He's gone through 3 or 4 of the AR books already (Stormbreaker is his favorite) and is looking forward to reading more someday. We typically have to wait until the books hit his school library to get to check them out however, as times have been tough for us, like so many others. It would be fantastic if he got to keep one for himself. Thanks for the consideration!

Master

I don't really like reading, but one day I went into my school library and found an Alex Rider book (Point Blanc). I thought I'd give it a try and ever since then I've loved Alex Rider books. I've got the whole series except this one! I would love to have it!

My son would love this. He reads all of this series as soon as they come out.

Yes please! My girls read way beyond their age group--but my son just can't get interested --maybe this will do the trick.

Mrs

I know Brock would enjoy this book, please enter me in the giveaway.

I am a girl of 22 years with two brothers of 18 and 12 -- we all love Alex Rider. Whichever it was of us that first picked up Stormbreaker, devoured it gleefully and then ran to share it with the others. We may have many years between us and widely varied interests, but we all sit down to read (or fight over) the latest book. Since I am a very poor student this year, being able to give this book to my brothers for Christmas would be wonderful!

These books are DOPE

I'm a 16 year old boy. I read all the previous books and this is by far my favorite series, and im stoked for the movie coming out. I've been looking for a good book to read, haven't read anything lately. Thought the series was over but now that I know its done, YEAH BOY! Haha please pick me for the giveaway.

Thats embarrassing

Had the dates wrong, put this in way after it was over.
