YAAlex Rider Adventure series.
In his eighth appearance, teen spy Alex Rider agrees to just one more small task for MI6. But that mission makes the crafters of murderous botanical schemes interested in what he knows...enough to warrant a bi-continental kidnapping; the titular reptiles play a frightening role. Readers who like their action with no holds barred will race through this well-paced thriller.
