Point Blanc is the thrilling second instalment in the number one bestselling Alex Rider series by celebrated author Anthony Horowitz. This high-stakes adventure follows the teenage spy, Alex Rider, as he's thrust into a new and perilous mission assigned by MI6. Tasked with infiltrating the enigmatic Point Blanc Academy, Alex poses as a student to uncover the sinister secrets lurking within its walls.

Nestled high in the French Alps, Point Blanc Academy appears to be a school solely for the rebellious offspring of the rich and elite. However, the boarding school, under the strict rule of Dr. Hugo Grief, proves to be far more than it seems. The school's curriculum is anything but ordinary, and its true purpose is shrouded in mystery and menace.

As Alex delves deeper into the academy’s operations, he discovers a chilling conspiracy that could have catastrophic global consequences. Racing against time, he must navigate a labyrinth of danger and deceit, relying on his wits, training, and remarkable resourcefulness. Each twist and turn brings Alex closer to a horrifying realisation: he’s not just in a school for troubled teens but a cog in a diabolical plan that could change the world forever.

Known for its fast-paced action and gripping storytelling, Point Blanc blends suspense, intrigue, and edge-of-your-seat excitement. Anthony Horowitz masterfully balances the thrills of espionage with the everyday challenges faced by a teenage hero, making this book a compelling read for both young adults and adults alike.

Join Alex Rider on this electrifying mission, as he battles formidable foes and uncovers secrets that no one could have anticipated. Can he alert the world to the academy’s deadly secret before it's too late? Delve into Point Blanc to find out. Whether you're new to the Alex Rider series or a dedicated fan, this book promises a heart-pounding literary ride you won’t soon forget.
