Stormbreaker
Stormbreaker is a young adult action-adventure book written by British author Anthony Horowitz, and is the first novel in the Alex Rider series.[1] Since its release, the book has sold more than nine million copies worldwide,[2] been listed on the BBC's The Big Read, and in 2005 received a California Young Reader Medal.[5] Common Sense Media praised Stormbreaker for its action sequences, but criticised its dialogue and logic.[6] Kirkus Reviews also commented that the book's plot was "preposterous" but stated that the readers "won't care".[7] Publishers Weekly wrote "The ultimate mystery may be a bit of a letdown, but that won't stop readers from racing through Alex's adventure.".
