About This Book
Silverfin is the exciting first book in the Young Bond series, introducing a thirteen-year-old James Bond as he navigates boarding school life and stumbles into his first major spy adventure. Set in the 1930s, the story follows James from the Scottish Highlands to the Italian island of Sardinia, where he uncovers a conspiracy involving a reclusive cousin, a ruthless Roman society, and a sinister millionaire. This book is a fast-paced thriller that explores themes of bravery, justice, and self-discovery, perfect for readers who enjoy action, mystery, and a touch of historical intrigue. While the book data initially listed an age range of 4-11, the content, complexity, and protagonist's age (13) make it far more suitable for late elementary to middle school readers, approximately ages 10-14.
Prequel to the adventures of James Bond, 007, introduces the young James when he is just starting boarding school in England and is about to become involved in his first adventure.
