Sleepwalker by Robert Muchamore
#9 of the great kid spy series!!
A huge airliner crashes, more than 300 passengers dead, and a miserable kid named Fahim bin Hassam found out that his dad is involved in it! What's more, this kid has emotional and sleepwalking problems, then that means nobody is likely to believe him if he says something.
But he does say something. Sort of. He tries to announce it on the phone to 911 but he backs of, fearing the wrath of his unjust, violent father.
This time instead of James Adams on this crazy mission, it's Lauren Adams. And her co-agent is Jake Parker, brother(and annoyance) of her best friend Bethany Parker, who is sent later on in the mission for backup.
As everything turns out, it seems in order to get Fahim's dad arrested the cherubs have to reveal their real identities to Fahim. What will happen at that? Read the book then!! (ahahahaha!)

Mad Dogs by Robert Muchamore
Mad Dogs is another great book of the amazing kid spy series Cherub.
In this one, James( the main character) is trying to infiltrate two crazy thug gangster clubs called the Runts and the Slasher Boys. The Runts are mainly just a whole lot of youth gangsters that put together a club, they are mainly killer, drug addicted maniacs with no sense cunning or smarts.
The Slasher Boys on the other hand, are led by a man named Major Dee. These guys mean business. Get in their way, they'll take out there shotguns and machetes, slice and shoot you up then dump you somewhere to rot. Thats why they're called the Slasher Boys. And the Slasher Boys are mostly made up of Caribean people or just mainly(please ignore my racist term, sorry) black people.
But all the information retrieved by James and his friends recovered led to another gangster club, Mad Dogs.
The Mad Dogs are the smallest, but possibly the most dangerous gangster club of all. Their leader Sasha is a extremely organized, cunning and smart gangster. James and his friend Bruce get into Mad Dogs, and gets on Sasha's good side. But of course, they are sent on more drug sales missions.
My favorite part of the book is when James accidentally starts a crazy gangster war between the Mad Dogs and the Slasher Boys. But the Mad Dogs tricked the Slasher Boys and the Runts, due to Sasha's cunning. The Slasher Boys were expecting about 20 people to show up for the Mad Dogs, but instead he got about 50 people show up for the Runts. I'm afraid that I have forgotten how Sasha tricked the Slasher Boys and the Runts, so I won't be able to tell you.

The Fall
The Fall by Robert Muchamore
The Fall is the7th book of the great series Cherub.
In this one, it starts with James on a mission in Russia with two MI5 agents. But it goes wrong when the two MI5 agents kills the
subject of the mission.
Then the MI5 agents are killed.
During this mission, James cover is the child of these Mi5 agents, so when the subject of the mission is killed, and the MI5 agents killed by the subject's guards, the captain, the subjects brother, goes to the apartment where James and the two agents were living at. So then when the subjects brother and his police force come to the apartment, James has to fight for his life.
He ends up shooting someone(but not killing him), beating two more men to a pulp, and then getting himself seriously injured.
After he escapes, James is on the run from the police(who happen to put a price on his head), then from a bunch of skateboarders who want the reward money. Later, James finds refuge in an abandoned house, with,luckily, a working fire place, and running water. James' training kick into action. He needs to survive. And he did.
But, my readers, have to read to find out how. In a sense it's sick, in a sense it's amazing.

Divine Madness
Cherub #5 Divine Madness by Robert Muchamore
I like this book because of the excitement of the story and because there is a lot of mystery too. My favorite part of this book is when the main character, James Robert Anthony Adams, tries to to escape from a high security area, filled with turrets, armed guards and nearly no hiding spots, while trying to stay out of sight.
