Alex Rider Box Set Award-winning author by Anthony Horowitz (author) (UK edition)

Author/Illustrator

Anthony Horowitz

Anthony Horowitz started writing because he wanted to be like Tintin. He has now travelled to all the places that Tintin has been – apart from the moon!

His Alex Rider series is one of the most popular children’s book series ever, and the first Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker, became a major Hollywood film. In 2003, Anthony won the Red House Children’s Book Award (voted for by children) for Skeleton Key.

He is also the author of the highly acclaimed Diamond Brothers detective stories, as well as the bestselling The Power of Five books, which were inspired by a simple thought. “Isn’t it more exciting to imagine these great battles with all their magic and mystery happening in the very high street where you live, just out of the corner of your eye?”

Anthony lives in central London with his wife Jill Green, a TV producer, and their sons Nicholas and Cassian. His whole family gets involved in his writing. Jill has produced several of Anthony’s scripts, including the drama serial Foyle’s War, which won the Lew Grade Audience Award in 2003. His son Cassian is already a seasoned actor, having appeared in three of his shows, and Nicholas, his oldest son, has helped Anthony to research the Alex Rider books by trying his hand at everything from scuba-diving to snowboarding and surfing!

In 2013, Anthony was awarded an OBE for services to literature..

   alex rider box set

   The Alex Rider series is the best series of books ever !!!! I got these with my last book club order and am reading them straight through. I even get up at 6.30am to read more adventures before school. They make me more alert and heighten my awareness of my surroundings and make me feel good.

   Possibly some of the best books of all time for young adults. Alex Rider is the kinder and (in my opinion) better James Bond that more people will relate to. i know that Anthony Horowiz even threw his hat in for a James Bond and was praised for it! anyone who likes Bond (specifically Young Bond) will adore this series.

   These books are amazing. Love them. You would think with so many books they are a bit repetitive but they are not.

   Alex Rider is about a fourteen year old whose uncle’s sudden death leads him to discover that his uncle actually worked for the MI6. It’s an explosive series and must be read by every teenager.

    Anthony makes the book really exciting with great vocabulary. He always ends paragraphs in suspense because when my teacher ends a paragraph we always winge because we don’t want it to end.
