BOOK REVIEW: Hendersons Boys-Secret Army (Robert Muchamore)

Book: Secret Army

Author: Robert Muchamore

Rating: 6/10

Recommended Age: 12+

The third book of Robert Muchamore's Henderson boys series and this book focuses on the challenges that Espionage Research Unit faces as the teenagers under Henderson's Command need to over come the trials involved in their training.


As new recruits join and groups are created they undergo a rigorous training regime designed to make them perfect for undercover work. from combat training to radio operating to a assault course thing they are slowly getting better and better.

But when one of the senior officials takes a bad view on their operational ability, they must all work together to pass a review of operations.

Then all that's left is the small matter of learning how to parachute, going undercover in Britain and steeling a gun turret. And with the threat of closure still looming. Henderson's Boys have their work cut out f they are going to succeed.



This book is ok. It's kind of a book that introduces the unit and characters before they do anything major. It focuses more on the training and running of operatives in Britain and I think is valuable despite it not being as adventurous and action packed as the first 2. However it gives you a good idea of what's happening which leads nicely into the fourth book. A worthwhile read but not as gripping as the first two.

Hope you found this review helpful,
