Point Blanc

Alex Rider, at fourteen years old and, much to his regret, a spy for the British secret service MI6, returns to school to try to adjust to his new double life and his double school duties. But MI6 has other plans for him. Investigations into the "accidental" deaths of two of the world's most powerful men have revealed a common link. The two had a son at Point Blanc Academy, an exclusive college for rebellious offspring of wealthy families, run by the sinister Doctor Grief and situated on an impregnable peak in the French Alps. Armed exclusively with a false identity and a series of cleverly camouflaged gadgets, Alex must infiltrate the academy as just another student and investigate what is really going on there. Will he be able to alert the world to what he is about to discover, before it is too late?
