CHERUB: The Recruit

I started reading this series about a week ago and it started off great. There was action every few pages. The book follows the life of James, a 12 year old boy who often gets in trouble. It shows his adventures with getting in trouble with school, and then he joins an organization called CHERUB, a group that uses children to be spies on missions. He makes friends when he gets to CHERUB, including Bruce, Kyle and Kerry. When he goes through training he is paired up with Kerry who is determined to finish training. He goes through some troubles during his training, but he finishes. He then goes on his first mission where he has to stop a terrorist group called Help Earth. He breathes in Anthrax while he's there, but it turns out it was something that made him immune to anthrax. I would recommend this book to all of you. The good things that I heard about this book were all true. This book is great and I look forward to reading the second book.

  1. Good review Gabriel, I read these books a few years ago and really enjoyed them, so much in fact, that I am planning on re-reading them soon.

  2. I remember reading this series and loving every page of it! There was always so much action in the book. And I love the plot that the author gives, who I believe is named Robert muchamore? I'm not completely sure. I had read all of the books that he had written but Unfourtunatley I caught up to the cherub series. However I think that he has written a few new ones that I have yet to read. Maybe one of those will be my next book?

  3. I see that some other people have already written comments, but I want to say that I have read the first 3 books in the series and I absolutely love them, they're really fast-paced and they have a lot of action but a good story and believable, funny characters as well.
