The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp

By Rick Yancey

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing, Children’s Books, USA

Alfred Kropp, age 15, just doesn’t fit in. He’s too big, too awkward, and extremely unintelligent. At least, that’s what everyone says. He lives with his uncle, Farrell – his only living family he knows of. When a get rich quick scheme is presented, Uncle Farrell will stop at nothing to get the money. This puts Alfred into an extraordinary adventure full of modern day knights, robed men dressed in black, a helicopter strike, a high-speed motorcycle/car attack, mystery, and betrayal. A wonderful adventure story.

Would suggest – for someone who likes action movies and the history of King Arthur.

Warnings: Some swear words, violence, some graphic deaths (heads flying through the air, ect.)
