Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz: Reviewed by Elias C.

The Skeleton Key is a really thrilling and suspensful book. This is the third book of the Alex Rider series, which I think is amazing so far. The genre of this book I think is adventure and mystery. This story is about Alex Rider and he is a spy working for the MI6, a british military intellegance company. He becomes a ball boy at Wimbledon, and he finds out a Chinese traid gang called "Big Circle" is drugging players so that they will loose. Once he catches them drugging the players the "Big Circle" are after him and he has to hide until the MI6 can fix it. The MI6 want Alex to team up with 2 CIA agents and spy on a man named General Alexei Sarov. The island he lives on his called Skeleton Key in english. Alex figures out that General Alexei Sarov bought uranium which he made into a nucular bomb. The CIA agents go scuba diving to get into the Generals mansion and they do not return. Alex goes into the gave they went to and he encounters a shark and it dies by some booby traps left there. He returns to the surface and he is then captured by Conrad, one of General Sarov's men.



General Sarov thinks of Alex as his son because they look a lot alike and he reminds him of him. So General tells him about his plan to blow up Mosscow to try to get Russia back in power again and to make them the most powerful nation. Will Alex save the day? Read the book to find out! The two other books before this one are the first book Stormbreaker and the second book Point Blank. I would really suggest to read this if you like adventure books with a lot of suspense in it. So go to the library and get this book!
