Final Blog- Stormbreaker

        A book that I have read this year is Alex Rider: Stormbreaker- by Anthony Horowitz. This has been the best book by far that I believe should be included in every teacher’s classroom. This book is the first of the books in the Alex Rider series and it is one of the best. The plot is thorough and interesting as he is an orphan whose uncle dies, his legal guardian, and is brought to M16 to help them be a part of their agency. This book has moment to moment action and keeps you at the edge of your seat waiting for the next gun shot to be fired or the next time he gets himself out of a sketchy situation. The author also creates the main character Alex as a young relatable British school boy. He has problems, even though they may be different than the common problems of teens, he still had problems and he stressed about them. This book should be in every Teachers personal library because this book has a moderate reading level perfect for appealing to many students. The structure and pacing is consistent. It appeals to multiple genres and interests; there is action, suspense, drama and more. This is overall the book that I would recommend the most; it is the original of the series which might encourage people into continuing in the series.
