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 doesn't try to write for kids; it just comes out that way.“I have a feeling it'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.
Now, Horowitz couldn't be happier with his life.He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself.I do believe it completely.”
