Wow, it's a great novel set in the UK, so some of the speech is a little strange and the kids in the novel seem quite advanced on adult subjects. CHERUB is a SPY SCHOOL for kids, mostly Orphans who work hard and become spies of course acting and posing as regular kids. This is book one and a promisi...

It was better than I expected. The first chapters I liked very much, unfortunately after James woke up in CHERUB it started to get a bit worse but it wasn’t too bad. The three main things that I didn’t enjoy were- character behaviour. At one point they could act mature and at the next moment beyond ...
Robert Muchamore's cherub books have sold in vast numbers and I'm told that a film is in the offing. So I had to read one to see how he does it. The answer is plot, plot and more plot.
