Gr 4–7—Being a teen spy isn't easy, and being a teen spy on vacation is even harder. Alex Rider is having trouble relaxing during his time off from MI6. Unfortunately, he's right to be worried. No matter where he goes, trouble seems to follow. And this time, it's a little too close to home. His friends' parents are injured, and he learns surprising truths about his family. Alex doesn't know whom to trust. He infiltrates the enemy organization, Scorpia, in search of answers—but does he really want to find them? These effective graphic novel adaptations of the fourth and fifth installments in the "Alex Rider" series immerse tweens in Alex's world. Reluctant readers will enjoy this series for the fast pace, engaging narrative, and action-packed artwork.
VERDICT Strong additions to graphic novel shelves, especially where the series is popular.
