The Power of Five - Anthony Horowitz

Who are the old ones?

What terrible secrets are hidden in these pages?

If you like your spine to tingle, if you like stories that surprise, then read these.

Just keep the light on - that's all I'm saying.

Alex Rider Books - Anthony Horowitz

If you haven't heard of Alex Rider yet then you need to get reading!

Just saying that Alex is a teenage James Bond does not do these books justice. They make James Bond look slow! And it's definitely a case of the book being better than the film.

These stories are gritty, gripping and above all, great fun. There's plenty of action throughout and something to grab your attention on every single page.

Alex is a great hero, but what really makes these stories thrilling are the villains.

Find out what everyone has been talking about. Catch the Alex Rider buzz!

Mortal Engines - Philip Reeve

If you're looking for something completely new, then look no further.

Imagine if cities could move. Not just a few buildings, but whole cities - giant structures lumbering across the landscape, churning the earth with their massive wheels or gargantuan tracks.

Imagine that bigger cities survive by preying on smaller ones. Put yourself aboard London. Feel the deckplates shudder beneath your feet as your home hurtles to devour a smaller city.

Then imagine the fear if you were to fall from your city. You've lost everything. Your hero has tried to kill you. You are thrust onto the wrecked surface. And with you - a strange, disfigured girl. The girl you were trying to catch. The girl who has just attempted to murder someone.

A fast and complex adventure. Masses of action. Superb characters. Twists and turns.

What more could you want?

The Recruit - Robert Muchamore

James Adams is an ordinary schoolboy until CHERUB interferes.

CHERUB is a secret organisation that works with MI5. Their agents are teenagers - they can slip under the adults' radar.

This book, like the rest of the series by Robert Muchamore, is full to the brim with explosive action.

Once you've picked this book up, you're never going to want to put it down because very word is tensionised!
