Reviews

Gr 7 Up-Snakehead begins right where Ark Angel (Philomel, 2006) ended. After splashing down in Australian waters, Alex Rider is taken to Sydney and immediately recruited by ASIS, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. They need him to pose as an Afghan immigrant boy to provide cover for an agent who is working to uncover information about a human smuggling operation. Alex reluctantly accepts, only because the agent is his godfather and the last person to have seen his parents alive. From the moment the teen arrives in Bangkok, virtually everything about the operation goes wrong. Narrowly escaping death, he ends up in a wooden box being smuggled to Australia and in the middle of something even more horrifying than the smuggling. All of the things that readers have come to love about Alex Rider are here: the globe-trotting settings, the ripped-from-the-headlines plot, the uncertain alliances, and the nonstop action.-Tim Wadham, Maricopa County Library District, Phoenix, AZ Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
