The Recruit By Robert Muchamore


The Recruit is an action packed, crime and and adventure fiction book written by Robert Muchamore. It is the first of the Cherub Series which is a series of books based on a organisation called Cherub. Cherub is basicly a’ CIA’ style group, where kids and teenagers aged between 10 and 18 are trained and sent on secret missions to do things adults can’t.
The series follows a boy named James Adams and his little sister Lauren.Their Family have had a lot of bad luck. After their mother died, the siblings ended up separated. James was then taken to Cherub with Lauren he then goes through the hardest thng he would ever do basic trainning, with the prospect of his first mission looming ahead if he can get through in one piece. Other people in James life at Cheurb are his roomate and his new best friend Kyle, his partner in basic trainning Kerry, Amy who teaches james to swim before basic training and mac the head of cherub.
The First thing that made me feel interested in this series is the quote on the back which reads “A terrorist doesn’t let strangers into her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligntce agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place. The terrorist doesn’t know that one of the kids has bugged every room in her house, made copies of all her computer files and stolen her a address book.The kid works for Cherub”.
This made me feel intreeged by this book and from the first chapter i have enjoyed it . The reason i was drawn to this book was because i love action and suspense books because they erge me to keep reading.
