===Here's a great movie trailer made by some grade 8 students in a local Windsor school. They created the movie as part of a Forest of Reading, Red Maple contest. ===

===Charlie Higson has written five great novels in the style of the original James Bond series. [|Young Bond] begins with //Silverfin//, introducing us to young James as he arrives at Eton. The series continues with //Blood Fever//, //Double or Die//, //Hurricane Gold//, and //By Royal Command//. These are great books for boys (though many girls will like them) but are fairly challenging in length and vocabulary. There is also a graphic novel version of this series starting, with Silverfin out in Oct. 2008. (Series recommended for readers aged 10-16.) ===

===[|Anthony Horowitz] is a fabulous British writer who manages to be very prolific in many areas. His popular series, [|Alex Rider], is a great choice for reluctant boy readers especially. It begins with Stormbreaker, and moves through Alex's fast-paced adventures as a reluctant spy for MI6. Horowitz' series, [|The Gatekeepers,] begins with the novel //Raven's Gate//. It's also terrific for those readers who loved Alex, but want a more creepy element (think "Alex Rider meets the Occult!") There are many novels in each, with more on the way. There are also some graphic novels available corresponding to the first three Alex Rider books, as well as a movie and related non-fiction materials. (Recommended for readers aged 10-16) ===
