Review: This book review is for Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. This book is 192 pages long and is a Mystery book. Stormbreaker won a Rebecca Caudill award in 2001. I think this book is an awesome book. I enjoyed it a lot.
This story is about a boy named Alex Rider who is 14 and lived with his uncle, Ian Rider until he found out he died in a car accident. But when he found his uncle's car in a junkyard, he saw bullet holes in the windshield and on the headrests of the driver's seat. He knew now that it was no accident and that someone murdered him. After the funeral, Alex follows a man that he met at the funeral to where his uncle worked. His uncle worked at a bank. Then Alex realizes that it wasn't a bank. Alex met the man from the funeral and found out his name was Alan Blunt. Blunt told him all about his uncle being a secret agent for M16 and that his uncle died in a top secret mission. So Blunt convinces Alex to be apart of M16. Then Alex trains with other agents in survival courses. After a few weeks Blunt tells him to go on a mission going undercover as a boy named Felix and see what's happening. Alex then meets a woman named Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones introduces him to a man named Smithers, who makes gadgets for missions and so he gives some to Alex. When he gets to the place for the mission, he meets Herod Sayle, Mr. Grin, and Nadia Vole. They let him try the Stormbreaker, a computer program with any subject in it like Math, Science, French, etc. After that, he heard that something important was coming at 1:30am. So he snuck out at midnight and made it to the back of a truck that was going to the place with the important thing. He saw a submarine and Yassen Gregorovich, the Russian contract killer who murdered his uncle. Then Alex found out that they put a smallpox virus in it so when the prime minister starts the Stormbreaker, it will kill thousands of schoolchildren. Alex makes it on time and stops the prime minister from clicking it. But Herod Sayle is nowhere to be seen. After getting congratulated by Blunt and Mrs. Jones, he gets out of the building. Then a car pulls over right in front of him. Herod Sayle comes out and points a gun at Alex. He tells Alex to get in the car. He took him to the rooftop of a building, a helicopter came. Herod Sayle pointed the gun at Alex. Then there were two gunshots. Then...... You have to read the book to see what happens next.
The author's ideas were great. Like all the gadgets he made up. I liked the Game Boy Color gadget. That was awesome. It can find things and send things. If you put in He had other cool gadgets.
The settings were great. Horowitz put a lot of detail in them. You could easily paint a picture in you head of these places.
This book was one of the best books I've read. It was spectacular! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. I know they would enjoy it.

Summary: Mini James Bond
Review: ?STORMBREAKER? by: Anthony Horowicz was an overexciting book full of adventure and edge of your seat sequences. This book?s plot is set in England in the present time and possibly a couple years in the future. The main character Alex Rider a 14 year old boy?s uncle dies and the police claim that it was due to a car accident. Alex knowing that his uncle is the most careful person in the world knows that he was wearing his seatbelt while driving since the police said that was another reason of death. Alex goes and finds the car to investigate the actual cause, almost killing himself in the process Alex finds that the car is lined with bullet holes and the windows all blown out from the flying projectiles. Alex then goes to his uncle?s so called work at the so-called ?bank?. Alex then climbs outside of the enormous building to reach his uncle?s office and finding top-secret James Bond like files realizing that his uncle wasn?t a banker. Alex then is recruited by MI6-Britain?s top-secret intelligence agency. And he is to finish his uncle?s mission, to spy on a very suspicious person, Herod Sayle. Through out Alex?s mission he finds himself stuck in some sticky situations but you will have to read the book to find them out.
I would give this book a 5 star rating due to the high action. I would also recommend this book for young teens that like James Bond like material.
I personally liked this book because of the constant action feeling and the top-secret gadgets used by Alex.

However what hefound out was that his uncle was a secret agaent and the bank is actually a secret agent place for the government and his uncle was actually killed while he was doind a job some where close to London. Hoowver since Alex found out so much they couldnt let him go. So they decided to send Alex to finish his uncles job or else they would ruin his life.
