Avalanche

Avalanche is the third action-packed adventure novel from rising star of children's fiction Simon Fox. Young readers who’ve enjoyed the Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz will dig this high-octane story, set in an Alpine ski resort.

Tom’s mum is an elite security expert who works for Eric, a reclusive bio-tech pioneer, and when she is sent to guard Eric at his remote alpine chalet, she invites Tom to come along for a ski holiday. Tom finds himself thrown together with Emily, Eric’s daughter, while their parents are busy with work. When Emily and Tom return to the chalet after a day on the slopes, they discover that a gang of ruthless kidnappers have taken their parents hostage, their gunshots triggering an avalanche in the process! Snowed in, cut off, with no power and a lethal bio-weapon time-bomb ticking down, Tom and Emily must find a way to overpower the criminal gang and save their parents before it’s too late!

A thrilling, action-packed story, perfect for keeping 8+ readers turning the pages long after lights out!
