 * Young Bond** Covering similar ground to Alex Rider, Charlie Higson's books – suitable for ages 10 and over — act as a compelling prequel to Ian Fleming's Bond series: here, we meet Bond as a 13-year-old at Eton in the 1930s.
 * Artemis Fowl** Written by Irish author Eoin Colfer. There are seven novels about a teenage criminal mastermind named Artemis Fowl II.
