Stormbreaker: The Graphic Novel

by Anthony Horowitz

14 year-old Alex Rider finds his life turned upside down on discovering that his late uncle wasn't a mild-mannered banker, but instead a field agent for MI6. Alex is then dragged into the world of espionage and intrigue himself.

The graphic novel adaptation of this well-written and action-packed story of a teenage spy works really well - conserving the key storyline and characters and making the book even more accessible.
