Teen rebel and social-media star Robin Hood continues his epic struggle against the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham and brutal crime boss Guy Gisborne.

Robin Hood is campaigning to get his dad, Ardagh Hood, elected Sheriff of Nottingham. But their rival is arch-gangster Guy Gisborne, who won't hesitate to stuff ballot boxes with fake votes to ensure that he wins the vote. And Robin has more personal worries - is he losing confidence in his ability to shoot arrows with deadly accuracy?

Meanwhile Robin's half-brother Little John is caught up in his mother's presidential election campaign, further complicating contact with Robin, his father Ardagh and his relationship with his girlfriend, Gisborne's daughter Clare.

Robert Muchamore was born in Islington, London in 1972. He still lives there, and worked as a private investigator up until 2005 and the critically-accepted release of Maximum Security.

The Hunger Games phenomenon is part of the huge YA / Children's book explosion that has grown, thanks to the British Rat pack of YA authors, Anthony Horowitz, Robert Muchamore, Mark A. Cooper and Charlie Higson. We owe much of the hunger games sucess to authors such as Robert.

Robert was inspired to create the CHERUB series by his nephew after he complained about the lack of anything for them to read. CHERUB: The Recruit was Robert's first book and won the Red House Children's Book Award 2005 in the Older Readers Category.

Following the last book in the CHERUB series, it was revealed that a trilogy would be released starting from August 2011 that will focus on a new set of CHERUB agents centred upon Ryan Sharma and also involve an sixteen year old Lauren Adams. The first book will be called People's Republic.

Check out the Hendersons Boys series. Henderson's Boys is a series of young adult spy novels written by English author Robert Muchamore. The series follows Charles Henderson, the creator of the fictitious CHERUB organisation.
CHERUB is currently being made into a TV series.

One long day

A non-stop ride of a book. The is in chaos. This makes Gotham City look like Metropolis. With everything that is going on, it makes this book feel rushed, not really leaving time to process anything.

It is election day. Who will be the Sheriff of Nottingham? Every dirty trick will be used, and the Rebels and the establishment will have to fight with everything they have. There is also the moral dilemma for Robin, facing the accusations of the family of prison guard he was forced to kill. However, with everything going on, will he have a chance to process it?

Interesting things are ahead for Robin and the Rebels going forward. They have more powerful enemies. Could they have an ally as well?
