Strombreaker

In the book Strombreaker by Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider was told that his uncle Ian was killed in a car acciedent. Alex was a suspicous about the death of his uncle. Alexs whole life he was told that his uncle was a banker, but he soon finds out that his uncle Ian was a spy for the MI6-Britian's top secret intelligence agency. Alex is determined to find out the killer of his uncle, but gets caught in to a trap.

I personally like the character Alex Rider because I think he is determined to find out who the killer of his uncle. I also like how the character is tough, he was upset about his uncles death but tried no to show it, Alex would want to go to school to get his mind off things. In the story it says, "Alex haden't gone to school,even though, secretly, he wanted to. He would have preferred to escape back into the normal life...". I liked how he would want to get rid of the situation than rather keep it on his mind.

At the end of the chapter, he walks into his uncles "office" (not really a office) he realizes everthing is gone and starts to get more intrested into the situation, and is determined to find out more. Also he said he would'nt cry about the death, showing that he is tough and brave about the whole problem.

 I think that Alex Rider is like the charater Denna Labert from the Story of the Girl. Both characters show toughness by Dennas reputation was ruined because of Tommy Weber. She then soon saw him everyday at work and was brave and tough and stuck with the job. Alex reminds of her because they both are upset about the problems they have but dont show it.
