About the author

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.

BAE I FINISHED THIS A MONTH AGO.
BAE I FORGOT TO TRACK.

The story was pretty cool, but I honestly felt uncomfortable with the fact that the main characters were 12 years old, but acting like 16-year olds - into snogging, relationships, tempted by drugs... These are kids and need to be acting more their age.

I haven’t read a graphic novel for a while and I actually really enjoyed this! Although the characters are only 10-14yo this actually has some sophisticated concepts- drugs (and different classes of drugs-hence “Class A”), violence, a little bit of romance etc.
Good illustrations and dialogue and a story line that’s compelling and interesting (who doesn’t want to be a kid special agent, highly trained, and busting drug cartels?!)

CHERUB is my absolute favourite book series of all time, I first read The Recruit when I was 13 for a school project and fell in love and went on to read the following 16 books. I still love this world at 25. It was nice seeing a story I’m very familiar with come to life visually. I just wish that Book 3 had an English version and that the rest of the series was being adapted to graphic novels but they aren’t.

This was a good continuation but I am getting a bit more annoyed at how old the characters are acting in contrast to their actual ages...I do still want to read on though.

Bonne lecture pour les lecteurs qui veulent s’initier aux histoires de Cherub.

On retrouve James dans une mission à haut risque. Sera-t-il tenté de transgresser les règles de Cherub ?! 🧐

Different and I loved it. I would be interested in finding out some other books like this one🥰.

When CHERUB kids go undercover, no one suspects that they are trained professionals, working to infiltrate criminal organisations that have eluded MI5 and the police for years.
James Adams is on his biggest mission yet, working to nail Europe's most powerful cocaine dealer. He'll need all his specialist training if he's going to bring down the man at the top.
The reason for CHERUB's existence is simple: adults never suspect that children are spying on them.
For official purposes, these children do not exist.
