Old Dominion Heather Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm sure some of your children have read these... is there anything that would be considered inappropriate for a nine-year-old, theme wise? He is enjoying Scorpia right now, but I don't particularly want to read them all myself, you know? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.S. Burrow Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Here's another discussion of the Alex Rider series. I would pre-read if you are concerned....they are quite good! :D http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90754&highlight=alex+rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks, that is just what I needed. He may read with wild abandon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.S. Burrow Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) I'm sure some of your children have read these... is there anything that would be considered inappropriate for a nine-year-old, theme wise? He is enjoying Scorpia right now, but I don't particularly want to read them all myself, you know? Thanks! Umm....if he hasn't read the other books in the series, then you should probably pre-read Scorpia. There is one scene that you might not be comfortable with. This book and Snakehead are probably the two books that Alex is faced with the most difficult decisions. Edited May 6, 2009 by H.S. Burrow sorry...DD interupted my thought.

Old Dominion Heather Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 I did pre-read Scopia and was fine with it. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't the tamest of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to pre-read Snakehead as it deals with illegal organ harvesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 As some people obsess over Twilight, I obsess over Alex Rider. I read them all in one week. :D If you put Edward up again Alex Rider, I'd pick Alex every time. Horowitz is writing a follow up to Snakehead. There is a movie "Stormbreaker" which is not so true to the book, but decent. Kind of a junior James Bond without the moral issues of Bond.
