After a week or so, Alex goes to secretly spy the school, and tries to escape to the prohibited area, and see what was going on in the basement, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor. The 3rd floor was almost an exact replica of the 1st floor.
Alex had entered to every single room and each room had the exact room as the student’s room, all except the laundry room. The laundry room was actually a lab room, or more likely an operating room, Alex then saw Dr. Grief speaking to a man with a white coat, going with the name of Baxter, they were talking about keeping the Gemini Project a secret, but things didn’t go so well, and Dr. Grief shot Baxter.

He then wakes up in Dr. Grief’s office tied up in a chair. Dr. Grief explains Alex his plans in being the most powerful man in the world. And how he cloned 16 clones of himself, and used Baxter, to change their appearances to look like the sons of the billionaires, and millionaires.

Connections: This book reminds me of the series of “Agent Cody Banks,” which is about this teenage boy that is trained to be a spy. He is to go a prep school student, and investigate about this evil scientist, that runs the ERIS organization. Cody Banks is trying to find out what evil scheme are they planning, and he has to stop it fast.
· The similarities of both of the book and series are: - Both are teenage male spy’s. - Both have to go spy in a school. - Both are spying on a evil scientist - Both go snowboarding against the attack of villains.
To the classroom:
Alex Rider has an important role to play, and he has to follow the rules and steps he is directed to. In our class, we have to respect the teacher and listen and do what we are supposed to do.
To the home:
Alex Rider is a young boy, but he is a spy. He listens to the commands he is told, and he does what he is supposed to do. In my house I can do an adventure, but I have to follow what I am told, and what I have to do, as well.
To the community:
The book also had parts were Dr. Grief was racist, and against other ethnics and races. He was against blacks being part of the African Government, and he wanted only whites to rule Africa. In our community, we should all respect other religions, ethnics, and races, and the people living around us.
To the World: In the book Dr. Grief wanted to have the world in his hands, he wanted to be the most powerful man in the world. But instead, we should cooperate with the world, and make it a better place, and share it with everyone, and spread the joy and peace around the world.
To me: We should respect our community, household, and schools, we should listen and do what we are supposed to do. Respect other religions, ethnics, and races, and the people living around us. Cooperate with the world, and make it a better place, to share it with everyone, and spread the joy and peace around the world. Below is the book trailer for "Point Blanc" by Anthony Horowitz
