Spy Thriller!

Yes! I read Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz. His series are definitely addicting. But when I read the book, I was a little disappointed. It's very similiar to the other books in the series..... The same plotline, same injuries, rich criminal men, et cetera. Thus, I would rate the book 2.5 stars. I know, it's an insanely popular series and the author being a #1New York Times Bestelling author and everything, but being frank, the book is definitely not his best work. Sorry, no offense Mr Horowitz.
The book is about a fifteen year old boy who is a reluctant British spy. He tells the agency that he is done working for them. However shortly after he leaves, the agency comes across a  plan developed by an organized crime group. Alex is sent to Cairo by the agency in order to attend an academy  for the children of the rich and the powerful, mainly becuase they needed a person- rather- a kid to go in and watch for suspicious events. The agency thinks some of the organization's people are in the academy trying to kidnap the children. Alex stumbles across a plan he had overheard and he is racing to stop the plan from occuring.

The book!
But perhaps, try and read it and see for yourself if you like it.
