‘Skeleton Key’ by Anthony Horowitz

Skeleton KeyAlex Rider is not your normal teenager living in England. He works as a secret agent for the British Secret Service that is called the MI6.

This book is an adventure just to read. If you like to read and are interested in an action packed, fast paced book, then I would definitely recommend that you read this.

In the story, teenage boy Alex Rider goes undercover along with two adult American secret agents from the Central Intelligence Agency. They must pretend to be a family as parents and son and go on a family holiday, but their mission is to locate and intercept the selling and use of nuclear bombs and weapons. They have discovered the location of the nuclear weapons, which is in an underwater cave. The two CIA agents have snorkeled down into the cave to find and retrieve the nukes. The two CIA agents were down in the water for a long period of time and Alex starts to worry if something has happened. What will Alex do? Should he go down to find the agents or is he already out of time?
