Oh and she devoured Adolphus Tips, have we got separated-at-birth twins?

That's interesting Cam. I'll have to read it again to see if I can spot any turn-offs.

Ds1 does find any kind of hint of teenage romance stuff a big turn-off. But I don't remember there being any in Point Blanc. There was in some of the others, but he read them.

Cod - I would say your ds still a bit young for Alex Rider. I certainly wouldn't read them to ds2 (6.5) yet.

Maybe try him on the "younger" Horowitz books. They are very funny ... but I'm struggling to remember the names. Hang on, and I'll be back in a sec.

The Diamond Brothers If you follow the links on this page there are several books in the series.

DS1 was ogling the new Alex Rider Gadgets book in Ottakars on Saturday. But these days he saves up his pocket money for Gameboy games, not books any longer

He still has lots of books on his Christmas list though

Cod - there is an Alex Rider film coming out soon (? Christmas), which might be a good introduction. Then he will be motivated to read them himself next year.
