Alex Rider is a normal 14-year-old boy living in London with his uncle Ian Rider until his uncle dies in a “car accident” while not wearing his seatbelt. Alex Rider knows his uncle would never travel anywhere without his seatbelt, so he goes to find his uncle’s car to investigate, and gets drawn into working with MI6 on the case that killed his uncle.
This is the first book in a long series about Alex Rider and his adventures with MI6. I am excited to read the rest of this series, as it was well written and engaging. My brothers have long been fans of this series, and we recently found out the first book was made into a movie, so I decided to read it before we watched the movie together, and was happy with the book. It is an easy read, but is a nice entertaining break from school work!
