Product description

A terrorist doesn’t let strangers into her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents… but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place. The terrorist doesn’t know that one of these kids has bugged every room in her house, copied her computer files and stolen her address book.

The kid works for CHERUB.

CHERUB is the secret training ground for young MI5 spies. CHERUB agents are aged between ten and seventeen. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar to get intelligence which sends criminals and terrorists to jail. So when tough kid James is recruited by CHERUB, he’s grateful. Now he’s away from the Children’s Home, and from trouble with the police. He thinks CHERUB has saved his life. But for how long?

Author/Illustrator

Robert Muchamore

Robert Muchamore was born in Islington in 1972 and spent thirteen years working as a private investigator. He was inspired to create the CHERUB series by his nephews complaints about the lack of anything for them to read!

The CHERUB series launched in 2004 with Robert’s debut novel CHERUB: The Recruit. It went on to win the Red House Children’s Book Award in 2005 and Richard & Judy’s Children’s Book Club in 2007 and has now been turned into Hodder’s first graphic novel. The central character James Adams enjoyed 12 CHERUB adventures, retiring as an active agent in CHERUB: Shadow Wave. In August 2011, CHERUB launched People’s Republic – a brand new story arc following the lives of new recruits Ryan and Ning with Guardian Angel publishing in August 2012.

In 2009, Henderson’s Boys was launched, taking readers back to the very first CHERUB adventure and explaining how Charles Henderson established the CHERUB organisation.
His latest series is Rock Wars.
