Trackgeek:
Having read a couple of the original Ian Fleming James Bond books (Fleming also wrote Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang oddly enough) I was curious to see what they would do with Bond as a kid. The story was interesting, nothing off the charts, but a good read, especially for the mid teens. Fans of Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series will enjoy this similar (although not quite as good) set.
Graded a B-.
