Storm Breaker (boy spy! Alex of Her Majesty) (2002) ISBN: 4087733688

The book manages to be exciting while also feeling fun and light. I'm curious about how the author planned that mix to keep middle-grade readers engaged without feeling overwhelmed.

The protagonists' reactions to danger and betrayal seemed very real for their age. What moments made you connect most with their sense of heroism?

The secret agent gadgets and London backdrop create such a vivid world. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or crafted it entirely from imagination.
