Crocodile Tears

Crocodile Tears Cover
My rating *****

This book is Alex's eighth adventure and the most adventures yet. Alex is on vacation with his best friend Sabina Pleasure when the trouble starts. He is invited to a new years eve party hosted by Desmond McCain. This is all set in Scotland. Of course there is snow and the roads are slippery. Sabina's mum is sick and does not join them. Alexs wins an amazing amount of money and gives it to charity. Alex is in deep trouble and can't survive much longer than this. Alex's discovers more problems when he comes back to England and returns to school. He turns to MI6 for help and they will help but of course Alex has to do something for them or they will not help. Conseqeuntly Alex has a school trip to Greenfields a place were scientist produce plants and insert chemicals into the plants, so that they grow better. MI6 have a few questions that they would like to know about the boss of Greenfields and Alex is once again perfect for the job. He is equipted with a pencil case that contains blow up pens, a memory stick inside an eraser as well as a calculator that's useful for lots of reasons. Alex is spotted and taken to Africa. This is  were Alex must use his brain and not rely on his gadgets all the time. Alex is faced with guns, crocodiles, ostrich meat[ for dinner] and Desmond McCain. Alex learns a horrible secret and is determined to fix it. There is somebody else on the land that can help Alex. He has helped him so many times before. This secret will perhaps kill millions and Alex has a day to fix it. Woth the help of this mysterious person. Can Alex save the day again? In this book I liked the part where Alex is playing a betting game and wins against Desmond McCain the champion. Desmond is utterly emmbarresed to be beaten by a 14 year old. You probaly should not make an enemy of Desmond McCain. I did not like the part where Alex was shaved and had drugs pumped into him for a long time. I love this book and recommend it highly.
