Alex Rider’s recently deceased uncle was a big banking executive. At least, that’s what he said every time he went on an extended vacation or missed dinner. But when Alex sees his uncle’s bullet-riddled car, the official story of a car accident doesn’t hold up anymore. Alex’s uncle was a secret agent, and he had been grooming a replacement—Alex. Martial arts lessons made him a skilled fighter. Vacations offered a chance to learn a new language or engage in risky activities like mountain climbing. Even the postcard his uncle sent shortly before his death holds a clue to the current mission. Will Alex accept his family legacy and save the children of England from a hidden menace in their schools? An adaptation of the popular Alex Rider pre-teen novel series.
