S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Access Denied

Arriving at school one day, Arun and his friend, Sam, are accosted by Donna, a girl in their year, who claims there are police at Arun’s house. Leaving school to discover what is happening, the unlikely team are thrown headlong into an action-packed thriller of a day like no other!

With each chapter heading indicating the ticking of time, this is a fast paced, non-stop blast of a book, bursting with action. Events unfold quickly, plunging the children into the thick of the proceedings, resulting in a lot of quick thinking and direct action from Arun, Sam and Donna.

Although Sam and Arun are already friends, Donna is all but unknown to them. The boys soon learn that they have misjudged her, quickly valuing the skills she brings to the team. All three children are very intelligent, resourceful and determined, although Sam is sometimes less keen to wade into action than the others. Each brings something different and together, they are a force to be reckoned with!

My son loved the ‘Kuromori’ books by Jason Rohan when he was younger and he would have loved this too. Instantly exciting, the story thrusts the reader into the thick of the action, making it perfect for those reluctant readers who can be put off by books with a slower build-up. A wealth of gadgets, technology and dodgy dealing mean there is plenty happening, but questions around morality, misconceptions and family also offer though-provoking moments.

Espionage, thrills and explosive action- what’s not to love?!
