Skeleton Key cover

The third, explosive mission in the number one bestselling Alex Rider series.

In the third book in the number one bestselling Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, teenage spy Alex faces his most dangerous challenge yet. Teaming up with the CIA, Alex must go to a remote Caribbean island called Skeleton Key, where the insane general Sarov is hatching explosive plans to re-write history.

I recommend this book to anyone over the age of 11 because it is a very interesting, action packed book, which involves bombs, fire and shooting. I am certain that adults will also love this adventurous novel. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series sometime soon. -- Young Reviewer * The Guardian Online *
[Skeleton Key] is a brilliant book: it is fun and inspires you to read more and when you’ve started it’s a great book to get into. […] This book was shocking at some parts and it thrilled me with excitement. -- Young Reviewer * Books for Keeps *
I think this book is amazing […] it was like I was glued to the pages and I couldn’t put the book down. * WRD *
