Here are my top 5 action reads.
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone
The classic action-adventure where YOU are the hero. This series formed the lifeblood of my reading as a youth.
Tarzan – The Greystoke Legacy by Andy Briggs
A reboot of the iconic jungle hero, befriended by a teenage Jane who proves just as brave and resourceful as her ‘savage’ friend. A lion’s roar of a read.
Artemis Fowl by Eion Colfer
If you like your action mixed with humour, then this anti-hero is for you. Gun-toting fairies, farting dwarfs and a butler for a bodyguard – what’s not to love!
The Squad: White Fear by Tom Palmer
Football, terrorists and teenage spies in the deadly and frozen Arctic – a winning combination for any boy reader.
The Enemy by Charlie Higson
A blood-spattered, gore-filled zombie fest about kids fighting off flesh-eating adults. Scary, moving and full of thrills, it’s everything you want in an action novel. Not for the faint-hearted!
Chris Bradford’s bulletproof new series continues with Bodyguard: Ransom out in paperback on May 1 (£6.99, Puffin)
