Alex Rider, the Teenage Spy

Hey everyone!
Today I'll be writing about the Alex Rider series, written by Anthony Horowitz.
Alex is a fourteen-year-old who lives with his uncle, Ian Rider, who is extremely mysterious. But when his uncle is killed, Alex finds out that he was a spy- and now Alex is one too!
Alex is sent as an undercover spy to investigate Herod Sayle, a billionaire who is planning to distribute exclusive Stormbreaker computers to secondary schools around the country. At first, everything seems to be going all right. Alex finds clues left behind by his uncle. He's even allowed to use the first Stormbreakers.
But soon Herod Sayle figures out something's wrong when he finds Alex in a forbidden area of the building.
Suddenly, Alex realizes that he might not get out of this alive.
Will Alex make it out of the situation? And what is so strange about the Stormbreakers that seem perfectly fine?
 The books in the Alex Rider series are Stormbreaker, Point Blanc, Skeleton Key, Eagle Strike, Scorpia, Ark Angel, Snakehead, Crocodile Tears, Scorpia Rising and Russian Roulette.
The books are very interesting and if you love action and adventure, you'll definitely love the Alex Rider series.
 The books are written by Anthony Horowitz, a novelist and screenwriter. Anthony Horowitz has also written The Power of Five series, The Diamond Brothers, Groosham Grange series, etc.
I recommend this series for ages 11 and above.

When Pigs Fly...I Mean, Rule the Farm!

Hello guys,
There are so many farms that have animals working on them. But have you ever thought of a farm that has animals working... and ruling the farm?
Today I'll be writing about Animal Farm by George Orwell. The books talks about Manor Farm, an English farm owned by Mr. Jones. The animals are regularly abused by Mr. Jones, but after a meeting in the barn, the animals decide they've had enough and want the farm for themselves. Kicking Mr. Jones out of Manor Farm and renaming the place Animal Farm, the new leaders are now the pigs.
At first, things go smoothly and the animals have never been happier.
That's until one of the leaders are accused of treason and is chased out of the farm. Everything goes topsy-turvy after that! The pigs start walking on two legs, the windmill that is being built has collapsed twice and Animal Farm is under attack from the surrounding farms.
What is going to happen to Animal Farm now?
The book is a little over 100 pages but it depicts real-life issues and is a satyr of governance. It is based on the Russian Revolution.
George Orwell is the pen-name of Eric Arthur Blair, an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. He has also written 1984, Burmese Days, Homage to California, Coming Up For Air and many essays as well.
I recommend this dark, and sometimes humourous book for ages 9 and above.
