ARk ANGEL<br />
An Alex Rider Adventure<br />
“In his sixth adventure Alex Rider runs<br />
afoul of a group of murderous “eco<br />
warriors” and befriends Paul Drevin, the<br />
lonely son of venerated multibillionaire<br />
Nikolai Drevin, who isn’t what he seems.<br />
In fact, neither is Paul, as Alex finds out<br />
when he accompanies the father and son<br />
on a vacation to the family’s luxurious<br />
home in Flamingo Bay, which happens<br />
to be the launching site of a rocket that<br />
will carry the observation module for<br />
Drevin’s hugely publicized Ark Angel,<br />
the first hotel in space…What’s impossible<br />
to resist are the imaginative gadgets<br />
and the breakneck action, which Horowitz<br />
handles with his usual assurance and<br />
skill.” —Booklist<br />

such as heroin and cocaine…Once again,<br />
Horowitz tells a tight story, and his<br />
knack for descriptive action drives readers<br />
through the very accessible plot.”<br />

POINT BLANk<br />
An Alex Rider Adventure<br />
“Trained by his uncle, a topnotch spy<br />
who died with his boots on, Alex is a<br />
bright, tough, daredevil athlete. No<br />
wonder M16 wants him to investigate<br />
a mysterious Swiss school dedicated to<br />
‘reforming’ delinquent sons of wealthy<br />
industrialists and important officials. Using<br />
a false identity, Alex enters the school<br />
and soon finds himself surrounded by<br />
curiously docile students, teachers who<br />
support the fascism, and a renegade<br />
doctor interested in cloning. With secret<br />
rooms, sullen sentries, mysterious disappearances,<br />
and wild rides galore, this is a<br />
great choice for reluctant readers.”<br />

SkELETON kEY<br />
An Alex Rider Adventure<br />
Working as a secret agent for Britain’s<br />
most exclusive agency, Alex Rider has<br />
seen it all. He’s been shot at by international<br />
terrorists, stood face-to-face with<br />
pure evil, and saved the world—twice.<br />
But fifteen-year-old Alex is about to face<br />
something more dangerous than he can<br />
imagine: A man who’s lost everything he<br />
cared for—his country, his son—a man<br />
who has a nuclear weapon, and will stop<br />
at nothing to get his world back. Unless<br />
Alex can stop him first...<br />
