Book: The Recruit
Author: Robert Muchamore
Rating: 8/10
James Choke is 11 and seemingly always in trouble. He's clever but lazy. Quite often in fights ect ect.
Then he does something stupid and is in big trouble. Accidentaly he cuts someones face open on a nail.
He's expelled from school but also the biggest gang in the neighborhood is after him. The girl who he cut is their leaders sister.
His life is down the pan, and then his mum dies.
Taken into care, cautioned by the police and then arrested stealing beer he's just sinking lower and lower.
Then he wakes up at CHERUB.
CHERUB is a secret organisation teaching kids to be spies.
The training is mental, especially seeing as James can't swim. He is given a new last name: Adams. And has 3 weeks to learn to swim before the 100 day basic training starts.
It's not looking good but James's partner in training has tried to pass it a number of time and knows every trick in the book. But that doesn't stop James from almost failing on numerous occasions.
Then he passes and gets his first mission.
Situated in the hippie camp of Fort Harmony James and Older agent Amy must investigate the possibility of a terrorist attack at an upcoming oil conference.
But after a few weeks of mud, being beaten up and investigating what they come across is very bad.
A terrorist organisation called Help Earth is planning an anthrax attack on the oil delegates.
Worse still James gets infected.
Rushed to hospital it doesn't look good.
Will James survive?
What will happen at Fort Harmony?
And what will the head of CHERUB say about James first mission experience?
Read this book to find out.
This is the first book in one of my favourite series I've ever read. Anyone would be crazy not to give it a go.
Although a lot of this book is setting the scene It's a brilliant read and the rest of the series should be even better. It's aimed mainly at teens but I believe anyone from 12+ will find this to be great.
Robert Muchamore is a great writer of these books.
