The Recruit

  

 

 

The Cherub series is a fun selection for a kid looking for adventure, espionage, and a great story. The Recruit was originally published in 2004 in the UK, but has recently been released in other countries and I think the new excitement will definitely grab some more fans.

 

The first book of the series follows James' from being orphaned to his beginnings as a Cherub agent. It was so much fun to read about his 100 days in training and then his first mission. I love all things spy related and I think a lot of adventurous kids will also love this book. I guess my only warning is that there is a lot of British slang, but in context it is easy to figure out.

 

I also hear a movie is being made about The Recruit-what fun!
