Book Review By Dipa Bhagwan
Point Blanc (Point Blank) by Anthony Horowitz

An investigation into the "accidental" deaths of two of the world's most powerful men have revealed just one link. Both had a son attending Point Blanc Academy - an exclusive school for rebellious rich kids, run by the sinister Dr. Grief and set high on an isolated mountain peak in the French Alps. Alex must infiltrate the academy as a pupil and establish the truth about what is really happening there. Before he knows it, Alex is stuck in a remote boarding school high atop the French Alps with the sons of the rich and powerful, and something feels wrong. These former juvenile delinquents have turned well-behaved, studious-and identical-overnight.
