Alex Rider #6: Ark Angel Award-winning by Anthony Horowitz (author)

Author/Illustrator

Anthony Horowitz

Anthony Horowitz started writing because he wanted to be like Tintin. He has now travelled to all the places that Tintin has been – apart from the moon!

His Alex Rider series is one of the most popular children’s book series ever, and the first Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker, became a major Hollywood film. In 2003, Anthony won the Red House Children’s Book Award (voted for by children) for Skeleton Key.

He is also the author of the highly acclaimed Diamond Brothers detective stories, as well as the bestselling The Power of Five books, which were inspired by a simple thought. “Isn’t it more exciting to imagine these great battles with all their magic and mystery happening in the very high street where you live, just out of the corner of your eye?”

Anthony lives in central London with his wife Jill Green, a TV producer, and their sons Nicholas and Cassian. His whole family gets involved in his writing. Jill has produced several of Anthony’s scripts, including the drama serial Foyle’s War, which won the Lew Grade Audience Award in 2003. His son Cassian is already a seasoned actor, having appeared in three of his shows, and Nicholas, his oldest son, has helped Anthony to research the Alex Rider books by trying his hand at everything from scuba-diving to snowboarding and surfing!

In 2013, Anthony was awarded an OBE for services to literature..

   This book is daring and mysterious, but is written in an incredible way. Alex is written incredibly and each line you want to read on.

   When I read scorpia, at the end, I thought he was dead! I went hysterical until my brother pointed out there was a sixth book! This was a great book, but the space thing was a bit far fetched. Sending a teenager into space? Not in real life. * * * +1/2

    An AMAZING book! It has adventure on every page and definitely lives up to the expectations of Alex Rider fans. Some surprising twists, but that’s what makes it so good.

    What has happened?! Alex is no longer ‘just’ going out on missions, but he’s living in one! I was totally shocked by this book, a must read. Can’t wait to read the next Alex Rider book!
