Calling all Alex Rider fans: Anthony Horowitz’s bestselling action adventure series for kids has a brand new addition: Alex Rider: Secret Weapon<\/a><\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is an essential collection of seven explosive Alex Rider stories, three of which are brand new and have never been seen before. Die-hard fans of the series are absolutely going to love this book, but it’s also the perfect place for readers who are new to the series to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book comes hot on the heels of the news that British actor Otto Farrant (War and Peace<\/em>, Mrs Wilson<\/em>) will take on the role of the legendary superspy Alex Rider in the upcoming TV series based on the books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This eight-part series, commissioned by Eleventh Hour Films and Sony Pictures Television and helmed by Guy Burt, will begin with the second book in the series, Point Blanc<\/a><\/em>. In this book, Alex Rider must infiltrate an exclusive school for rich kid rebels in order to discover the truth about the “accidental” deaths of two powerful men (click here<\/a> for more info).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series will be here before you know it, as will the 12th Alex Rider novel, Nightshade <\/em>(due for release later this year). In the meantime, you can read an excerpt from Alex Rider: Secret Weapon below<\/em> or browse the rest of the series here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
