Book 2: Point Blanc, by Anthony Horowitz

Started: Monday 5th July, on the train from Scarborough to Godalming.
Finished: Tuesday 6th July, at MBC whilst Noah does his baptism class. I was pretty happy and excited at this point because I had just found out that I got the job in Harpenden! I'm really going to be a Reception teacher in September.
Review: Another school story? Or James Bond for a slightly younger audience? I enjoyed this book more than the first, although I felt that the beginning was more engaging  than the end. Amusing in some places, and with some interesting clues to draw the reader in, this is a tale of Alex Rider, 14-year-old MI6 agent. In this adventure Alex is called on to stay at the mysterious Point Blanc academy, ostensibly a finishing school for the troubled sons of the world's elite. But why are there so many guards with guns? What is up on the mysterious second floor? And why are all the pupils so sinisterly... similar?
Time: Read over 28 hours and 45 minutes, with a long break for hula hoop purchasing, Wagamama's visiting, Robin Hood watching, sleeping, driving to Harpenden, being interviewed, seeing Noah's new church and driving back to Milford.
