Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz

Over the summer, the second book I have read is called Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. This is a series about a boy named Alex Rider who is a spy who works for this undercover organization called the M16. In the beginning of the book, he realizes that his uncle has been killed in a car crash by the police. Alex questions the police and investigates because he knows that his uncle always put his seat belt on. One of his missions in the M16 is to spy on this rich man named Herod Sayle. He is building a computer called a Stormbreaker which he is giving to the schools in Britain. These Stormbreakers are infected with a small pox virus which will cause a deadly virus. Just before the Prime Minister was activating it, he shoots all of it and deactivates it. Also, Alex was about about to be thrown off the roof but then is saved by a man named Yassen Gregorovich who is the man who killed his uncle. He then kills Herod and tells Alex to stop being a spy or he is going to die one day. This book is very good and kept me reading until I was finished with the book. I also have read some of the other books in the series which were very good too. I enjoyed this book a lot and I recommend this book to anyone who like books with a lot of action in it!

Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers

Over the summer, I read Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers which is about an African American boy named Richie. He is 17 years old and just graduated high school. After he entered the army, he was sent to Vietnam after a month. While he is in the military, he meet two new friends named Jenkins and Peewee. While they were doing basic training, Jenkins gets killed by a land mine. After a little while later while he is in war, he became very sad and cannot communicate to his family or friends. Later in the book, Richie and his friends get a new leader named Sargent Dongan. He was a very rude person and put both of them in a very dangerous situations when they were about to die. Soon, Sargent Dongan died and Richie and Peewee became seriously wounded. Their wounds became so bad that they both had to be discharged and were sent home. Then they both went home in a plane surrounded by new soldiers entering Vietnam for war. This book was very enjoyable and was in my reading level. I understood all of it with no problems. It is very interesting and I recommend this book to everyone!
