    Most helpful advice! This 500 words contest may be quite a challenge with its limitation thereof. Yet it will surely prove to be a most welcome endeavor, and another medium through which to enhance a writer’s literary arsenal.

    Thx Anthony, I’ve read the most recent Power of Five and all the Alex Rider series books. (Including Scorpia Rising)You have inspired me to make a book kind of like your own but with a twist and a lot more on the side of a child that is being ferried about and is trying to live a normal life while being pestered by foreign agencys.

    Anthony Horowitz, thank you so much for everything! I LOOOVE Alex Rider and I’m interested in the Power of Five/Gatekeepers books.

    P.S. That secret book case door is pretty darn awesome, I sure wouldn’t mind one leading to my writing room (even though I don’t have one)!

    Anthony, you are the best writer ever! I’ve read The power of five series up to number four, and i’ve read all of the Alex Riders. AMAZING! Can’t wait for the next power of five! I’m a young writer and am finding you stories very influentcial( spelt that wrong, i think.) and exciting!

    Anthony, I can’t wait to meet you on Wednesday! I LOVE your books but I’m afraid I couldn’t get them in Braille as they don’t exist in Braille and instead, I had to listen to the very few I could get. To think that only 7% of all print books exist in Braille or audio format is more than a huge injustice, don’t you think?
