ALEX RIDER, THE GADGETS by Anthony Horowitz
This book just came into the library and I could not wait to pick it up. Alex Rider, the fourteen-year-old spy for the British, has had five missions for British Intelligence's CE Special Operations M16 Unit and Smithers of the Covert Weapons Sections has created several gadgets for those missions. In ALEX RIDER, THE GADGETS Alan Blunt, head of M16, request a breakdown of all the devices Alex has used in his missions. Smithers answers this request with "If you are going to produce a book of some sort, I would suggest we build in a simple device that will cause it to burst into flames when it is opened."
Remember open this book at your own risk and if you choose to do so, you will marvel at the most exciting teen gadgets: the Cannondale Bad Boy Bike with its handlebar missle system, the Pizza Delivery Assassin Kit and many others.
TO ALL TEENAGE SPIES THIS BOOK IS A MUST.
