This is a really interesting collection of short stories for most ages. I really enjoyed reading them.
Alex Rider Secret Weapon is a collection of 7 short stories about Alex Rider. Alex Rider is a 14 year old spy who works for MI6. The collection describes some of his adventures that he is reluctantly dragged into, and used in, by the secret service. These books aren’t exactly part of the series which means it doesn’t matter if you haven’t read the rest of them. It gives a brief description of what has happened before, during the short stories, so readers who haven’t read the rest of the books can understand it just as well as if you have. I thought these books were really fun to read they don’t take very long and are a good pastime. The books are flowing and interesting to read, they explain it in just enough detail and in some of them it involves the reader which makes the book more interesting.
Secret Weapon contains 7 - Yes 7 - amazing Alex Rider stories. Fans of the secret spy kid will love this latest book and if you have never been lucky enough to read Rider stories before this is the perfect place to start.
I am a massive Alex Rider fan and couldn't wait to get started on Secret Weapon.

I really enjoyed these pocket fizzlers of short stories.
I really enjoyed these pocket fizzlers of short stories. They have all the right ingredients: A dash of humour, a flicker of thrill, a smidgen of crazy, and, of course, a potent punch of action. I find it astounding that you can fit so much into one story, a credit to the authors unrivaled skill in the genre. I haven't read very many Alex Rider books, but I followed these easily enough. Although this is a stereotypically boy's book, as a tomboy I still enjoyed this and although I wouldn't recommend it to younger readers, I still loved it. It certainly made school days more interesting!!
Alex Rider: Secret Weapon is a collection of thrilling stories set between the main missions of Alex Rider.
Alex Rider: Secret Weapon is an easy to read book containing seven simulating stories about Alex Rider. Alex was only 14 when recruited by MI6 to be a spy, sent all over the world on secret missions. There is a range of adventures, set all over the place, from Alex at home in London to on a secret mission in Afghanistan. The stories are all short and easy to read however still contain the usual electrifying thrill of the other missions in this series. However they are not part of these series so it does not matter if you have not read the other missions - it will still make sense.
I am a great fan of the other missions and this book did not disappoint, being consistent throughout, jam-packed with action, adventure and much more. I would certainly recommend this to people around the age of 10yrs. And would act as a fabulous entry point to anyone who has not yet had a taste of the awesome adventures in this epic series.
This book has seven breath-taking adventures and you will be unable to put it down once you've started reading it.
This is an action-packed book about a fourteen-year-old boy called Alex Rider who is a spy for MI6. This book has seven breath-taking adventures and you will be unable to put it down once you've started reading it.
My favourite character was Alex because he was fearless and loved going on adventures. This book is really well written as you could empathise with the characters easily. These stories were easy to get into even though I've never read any of these books before I could understand everything that was happening in the book.
I would recommend this to anybody over the age of nine who loves action books.
2019 Book Of The Year For Me!
As a big fan of the Alex Rider series after reading Never Say Die I thought it was all over. When finding out I had been picked to read this I was over the moon. The book itself is really well written and keeps the reader gripped, almost forcing their hand to turn the page. In my opinion: 2019 Book Of The Year.
Horowitz takes Alex on 7 amazing action-packed adventures that will keep you at the edge of your seat thinking "Is this the end of Alex Rider?". From Afghanistan to the French Coast the action never stops and I'd love to see another book like this!
