Stealth: Access Denied

If your dream is to be a spy then this is the book for you

Arun has an ordinary life until one day his father is kidnapped. No one knows what to do. So it’s up to Arun and his classmates-Donna and Sam- to figure out what the mysterious MANDROID is, save Arun’s father and …the entire world. All without getting caught.

This was a thrilling and entertaining book full of action and adventure. I was sat in suspense the entire book. I could not have enjoyed this funny story anymore.

I found myself getting quickly attached to the characters, especially Donna, who was awesome. Car chases, a dangerous weapon and a race against time. What more could you want?

I can’t wait until the next book is released.

An amazing and suspenseful plot. Action packed adventure crime thriller with car chases, comedy and secrets. A truly grippping read.

This fabulous book is about a 12-year-old schoolchild called Arun who starts off ordinary at 7:55am. He soon finds out that his dad has been kidnapped and there might be no way of getting him back without destroying the world. So, with his best friend Sam and the mysterious Donna, they must go and save the world. This is not just any kidnapping; it is a test of loyalties, intelligence and physical strengths. What lengths the kidnappers may go to, to get what they want, no one knows.
I really enjoyed reading this gripping book; it was impossible to put down and time flew while I was reading. The plot was amazing and suspenseful. Their amazing, action-packed adventure not only had elements of comedy but it also was an awesome crime thriller! I would give this a rating of 11/10 or 6/5 in adventure, action, and crime. I particularly enjoyed it when the secret services got involved and had no clue about what was going on. Yet a bunch of 12-year-old, Year 7 secondary students did! Later those exact same students also joined the secret organisation known as S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Barely anyone knows about it or what the acronym stands for.
Entertaining for readers who love the Cherub or Alex Rider series. Thrilling for young readers aged 9 years or older! I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good action-packed adventure, full of car chases, comedy and secrets. It is full of mystery and reading fun. I was delighted to be able to review this great book!

A fast paced thriller which keeps you on your toes.

S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Access Denied is a fantastic thriller with a lot of action in it. It has a really fast moving plot. It didn’t take me long to read it.

Arun Lal’s dad is kidnapped by people wanting to steal a secret project that he has been working on. Arun, together with his best friend Sam and Donna, a classmate, have to rescue his Dad before the kidnappers can create a destructive global weapon.

It is a bit unrealistic at times. Why does Arun believe Donna at the beginning of the book? Why does he skip school because of what she says? They are hardly close friends. However, it is is a great and exciting read. I liked the bit where Arun phones his Mum, having disappeared to try and save his Dad. They are quite a few funny parts in the book, that was definitely one of them. I would recommend S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Good for fans of the Alex Rider books.

This book kept me turning from page to page, it's story was so gripping, I could barely put the book down.

When Arun's dad gets kidnapped, he finds himself in a race against time to find him. However, it is more difficult than he ever thought, so he and his new friends, Sam and Donna, have to battle fearsome enemies, and operate the potential weapon MANDROID.

This book kept me turning from page to page, it's story was so gripping, I could barely put the book down. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves reading adventure, mystery and fantasy stories, as this book has got an element of all three. I think it was an amazing experience, and I am hoping for more books in this series. This is definitely a book you want to look out for. To summarise, this is a great book, with everything you need for an interesting adventure.

Interesting book for boys my age.

I loved this book. I like the characters involved and the story line. There are plenty of twists and turns in this story that have kept me interested in what is going to happen next. I like how Arun has to race to save his father and find the weapon before the bad guys get it.

I think any boy or girl my age (9) would really enjoy reading this just as much as me.

S.T.E.A.L.T.H. was a great read, as it had action and some adventure, it would be perfect for readers 9+.

S.T.E.A.L.T.H. was a great read, as it had action and some adventure, it would be perfect for readers 9+. My favourite part was when MANDROID (the main reason this book exists) spoke for the first time as I wasn't expecting it. It was very similar to Alex Rider (which is a series I love). Who knows it could be a big hit, from what I read it will be an incredible series. The cover of the copy I read was very bland and the advertised one is more lively and would be more likely to make me pick it off the shelf.

Full of danger, adventure and thrill.

This book was great - it reminded me of Alex Rider and other great books. The main character Arun is dragged out of school with his friend Sam by a tough girl called Donna. Suddenly Arun has avoided kidnap and is hiding in his own house from his parents and the police. He overhears the police and finds out his boring dad has been kidnapped. All of a sudden they find themselves racing against the police and the villains, and suddenly they are ahead. In a sudden turn of events, three children, Arun, Sam, and Donna have to save the world. All military, police, and other services are down and only they can rescue Arun's Dad and save the day. But can they do it?
