I just love this series! I stock the bookcase in my classroom, and try to read all of the books before I put them out. The Alex Rider series is something I frequently recommend to my students.
Because my 12 yr old loves the series and it’ll be a Christmas present this year.
Loves the series and needs this one. It would make a nice present too.

I’m a huge fan of the books, in fact everyone in my family reads them so the books get frequently passed around. I also love Anthony Horowitz and have read most his book, especially his Power of Five books (defiantly worth a read)
After the cliff hanger in the last book i’m dying to find out what happens with Alex!
Sounds good (^.-)
My son is not an enthusiastic reader so I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a series that might interest him. I’d love to try this one (and probably will whether I win or not!).
My nephew loves to read and goes through books and series faster than we can find good ones to steer him towards. On top of that, his name is Alex so I think that will add another fun level of interest to these books.
