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, a school for rebellious rich kids run by the sinister Dr Grief and set high in the French Alps. Armed with a new collection of gadgets, Alex must infiltrate the academy as a pupil and establish the truth about what is really happening there...Featuring full-colour, action-packed, Manga-style art, this graphic novel is ideal for encouraging reluctant readers.

I'm a Librarian. I have two sons who devour books quicker than a bag of haribo and a third who groans at the very prospect. This is the first book, well the second actually as Stormbreaker was the first!, that he has hardly given time to hit the doormat. When this book arrived he disappeared into my bedroom and lay on my bed reading solidly until finished. Mr Horowitz I hope you don't mind but I used you as an excuse as to why my son was bleary eyed for school next day! I always knew my son would enjoy reading if only he could find the right book! Illustrated in full colour and printed on good quality paper these graphic novels are colourful, well written and absorbing. My son is currently filling his time with the excellent Bone series by Jeff Smith - nevertheless he awaits the next Alex Rider installment with baited breath!

Ideal for reading-shy youngsters, it allows them to join the Alex Rider discussions with their more reading-able friends at school who have read the novels in full.
Will appeal to all those who enjoyed Beano and other comics, then got into other comic-strip books such as Tintin, Asterix and the graphic Artemis Fowls. Whets the appetite for the next move towards more sustained reading of text, with some pictures for light relief such as Diary of a Wimpy kid, or Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell's Far-Flung Adventures.

This is the second book in the Alex Rider series and the second to come out in graphic novel format. I'm 19 and i love the books and the graphic novels, i read alot of manga so the fact that these novels are in colour was a suprise and also a nice change. The drawings are clear and very well done, the novel stays true to the soul of the alex rider books leaving the reader wishing they would hurry up and publish the next one! If you love the Alex Rider books you will love this too.
