The action doesn't stop!

I thought the movie was great, and the book was, too: Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. Alex Rider is 14 and learns that the uncle who has been raising him was killed in a car accident because he wasn't wearing his seat belt. Not believing the reason, Alex finds the car and sees that it's filled with bullet holes. He learns that his uncle was actually a spy, and Alex is soon asked to join Britain's MI6 intelligence agency to continue his uncle's mission. He soon discovers a plan that will kill every school child in England...can Alex stop it before it's too late? Trained and given some pretty cool gadgets, Alex is like a young James Bond. The plot is a bit crazy - would a teenager really be in situations like that? - but the non-stop action and chapter-ending cliffhangers make for a fun, action-packed story. If you like it, check out the other books in the Alex Rider Adventure series.
