　　I remembered asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”

　　Now,

　　at 55,

　　Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies,

　　and the eighth book featuring the young spy,

　　Crocodile Tears,

　　came out this month.

　　The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14­year­old Alex Rider,

　　an agent for the British intelligence agency MI6.

　　Horowitz said he didn't try to write for kids; it just came out that way. “I have a feeling that's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room,

　　the character in the room,

　　and get on with the action,

　　” he said.

　　That style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because,

　　he says,

　　writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown­ups. In both cases,

　　it's all about entertaining people with a good story.
