This thrilling sequel to
Stormbreaker sees Alex Rider investigating - of all things that Alex
might have had a break from - a school. Point is, this is no ordinary
school, no matter how you look at it. This school is Point Blanc - a place
for the super-rich to send their rebellious children, in the hope of them
coming back perfectly 'proper'. Problem is - it would seem this works too
well - these kids come back - different. Not because they've changed -
because they've become the victims of an evil plot to rule the world (it
just sounds so cliché, doesn't it?)! Anyway, while just as
enthralling as its prequel, I personally did not enjoy it quite as much
(school - who can enjoy?).

From the book:
Fourteen-year-old Alex Rider, reluctant M16 spy, is back at school trying
to adapt to his new double life... and to double homework. But M16 have
other plans for him. Investigations into the "accidental" deaths of two of
the world's most powerful men have revealed just one link. Both had a son
attending Point Blanc Academy - an exclusive school for rebellious rich
kids, run by the sinister Dr Grief and set high on an isolated mountain peak
in the French Alps. Armed only with a false ID and a new collection of
brilliantly disguised gadgets, Alex must infiltrate the academy as a pupil
and establish the truth about what is really happening there. Can he alert
the world to what he discovers before it is too late? |
