The FNG of CHERUB

This week I read CHERUB mission 1: the recruit by Robert MuchaMore. It’s the thing that keeps me begging for more like, what happens next, why would he do that?

This book is about a child named James Adams whose mother has just died. When his little sister got sent to live with her father, Uncle Ron, James had to move to the Nebraska House. James meets a boy named Kyle. But a while after James came to the Nebraska House; they sent him and Kyle to Cherub. It turned out that Kyle was already a part of Cherub. Cherub is a organization in the UK that takes kids and turns them into agents. They send them on top secret missions that M15 or the police don't know about.

 There are different shirt colors for your rank at Cherub. Orange is guest, Red is before training, Blue is for training, Grey is for completing training, Navy is for doing a good job on missions and Black is for doing an excellent job on many missions. After James completed his 100 day training, he got sent on a mission with his swimming teacher, Amy to go into a place called Fort Harmony and find out about some terrorist related activities. After they nailed all of them except for one, James and Amy went back to Cherub. When they got back, James got his Navy Shirt and Kyle got his after. Kyle was jealous that James got his Navy Shirt before him. 
               
                        In Cherub, Robert Muchanmore writes as a James the latest Cherub recruit. He's a bit of a troublemaker, but he’s also very brilliant. And CHERUB needs him. But before he can start in the field, he must survive one hundred grueling days of basic training, where even some of the toughest recruits don't make it to the end. Throughout the book James is faced with lots of family problems. Although he has lots of family problems i think that helps him to push harder during his basic training. While James was attending school his mom died and his sister was taken into his stepfathers care. James stepfather is not really fit to be a father and James knows it but he can’t do anything about it. Robert Muchamore does a great job taking James from being the son of an alcoholic and a trouble maker to some one how is now a much respected member of a very elite club. So when you put it like this, he’s like a teenage James Bond, except he doesn’t kill anyone.
