Cherub Book 1: The Recruit (338Pages +4)

Well, here is another series from Great Britain! Those of you who know me, know how much I love Brit authors! Robert Muchamore has written a book of fiction that rings so true, that the reader is sitting on the edge of his/her seat. The premise is that adults never realize that children are listening. CHERUB is an organization formed just after World War II. During that war, children in France were used to gather information from Germans occupying their country. A British spy Charles Henderson, thought the idea was so good that he returned to England and set up this secret organization called CHERUB. The first book centers on James, a basically good kid, who always is at the wrong place at the wrong time and constantly getting in trouble. He is recruited as a potential spy working for CHERUB- IF he passes the tests. James is brilliant, but has never been challenged to show his potential. Boys will especially like this book. I'm off to read #2 now;-)
