Stormbreaker - For Children

I have found a wonderful way of making some reluctant readers actually read! There are hundreds of novels that are now being published in what is called "graphic novel" which is, presenting the same story, but in the style of a comic. Some are in full colour, some are just black and white. But I would like to particularly recommend "Stormbreaker" by Anthony Horowitz which in my experience, children find really interesting. The adventures of the teenager secret agent Bond-style Alex Rider are making more children read, that is always wonderful. So if you have some reluctant readers, take my advice, get some graphic novels to help them develop the habit of reading, you shall not regret it.
