Product description

Fourteen-year-old Alex is back at school, trying to adapt to his new double life … and double homework! But the MI6 have other plans for him. Investigations into the deaths of two of the world’s most powerful men have revealed one link: both had sons attending Point Blanc Academy – an exclusive school for rebellious rich kids. Run by the sinister Dr Grief and set high on an isolated mountain peak deep in the French Alps, Point Blanc is a world of its own. Armed only with a fake ID and a new collection of disguised gadgets, Alex must infiltrate the academy and discover the truth about what is happening there. But the secret that Alex uncovers goes way beyond his worst nightmares. Can he alert the world before it’s too late?

Anthony Horowitz

Anthony Horowitz started writing because he wanted to be like Tintin. He has now travelled to all the places that Tintin has been – apart from the moon!

His Alex Rider series is one of the most popular children’s book series ever, and the first Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker, became a major Hollywood film. In 2003, Anthony won the Red House Children’s Book Award (voted for by children) for Skeleton Key.

He is also the author of the highly acclaimed Diamond Brothers detective stories, as well as the bestselling The Power of Five books, which were inspired by a simple thought. “Isn’t it more exciting to imagine these great battles with all their magic and mystery happening in the very high street where you live, just out of the corner of your eye?”

Anthony lives in central London with his wife Jill Green, a TV producer, and their sons Nicholas and Cassian. His whole family gets involved in his writing. Jill has produced several of Anthony’s scripts, including the drama serial Foyle’s War, which won the Lew Grade Audience Award in 2003. His son Cassian is already a seasoned actor, having appeared in three of his shows, and Nicholas, his oldest son, has helped Anthony to research the Alex Rider books by trying his hand at everything from scuba-diving to snowboarding and surfing!

In 2013, Anthony was awarded an OBE for services to literature..
