Henderson's Boys: The Escape
Being a dedicated fan to Robert Muchamore's series, CHERUB, I have found another spin-off spy novel that I guarantee will have your eyes glued to the pages.
In the first book, The Escape, meet Marc Kilgor, a French orphan in the midst of the bloodiest times on earth, World War II. Hitler's army is expanding towards France, prepare to kill any civilians that gets in the way. Air raids are already showing. Everyone is on the run, trying to escape to Britain. Many die on the way. No shelter from the war, food on rations and in a short supply, constant air raids on buildings, it is not surprising people don't make it.
Marc has planned on escaping his orphanage for many years, but he just can't do it. He wanted to escape his torturous roommates and his headmaster. It wasn't possible. It was miles away from any major city and he had no forms of free transportation other than foot.
One day he recieves the news that his headmaster had bought a shiny brand new bike, unlocked, free for anyone in the orphanage to touch. With the help of his roommates that taunted and dared him to run away, he sees his chance and summons up his courage and runs away, also stealing some food and money from his headmaster's room, which turned out to be very useful.
On the other hand, Charles Henderson was a British spy that was currently smuggling a blueprint for an advances technology in World War II from the Germans for the British. Everyone in Hitler's army is trying to hunt him down. They havn't succeeded yet.
Marc has taken refuge in Charles Henderson's house unknowning broke in. He discovers the house's owner when he saw a letter addressed to Charles Henderson, which he had not know was a spy. The German's found the house, broke in and searched to find the boy, Marc. Tortured for information and the German's got none. Charles returned and found him bleeding in his house, but still alive. Marc agreed to help Charles on his undercover mission and followed him all the way through.
Charles Henderson realised the potential of children working in undercover missions and founded the organisation, currently known as CHERUB which is continued in another series.
Read on to find out what happens to the spies and who they met on the way.

Crocodile Tears by Anthony Horowitz

A fourteen-year-old teenage boy called Alex Rider had been recruited as a spy since the death of his uncle, Ian Rider. He had saved the world six times within a year, but the costs were: a wound from a sniper, fighting with someone twice the size of him, having your friends and family in danger or even worse.
Finally, this time he thought that he could get away from being a teenage spy and continue his school life just like other ordinary people.
However, another ambitious person wanted to rule the world again. But this time, Alex will face something unimaginable...

The CHERUB Series
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a spy, highly trained, working for a secret organization? Have you ever had the feeling that when you read a book, it gets your heart beating faster wondering what will happen to the characters? Will they succeed? Or will they die. If you enjoy these fast paced thrillers, I strongly recommend you to pick up this book.
The story begins it's first book, (CHERUB: The Recruit) when James Adams' parents gets murdered by a gang and James is also injured. After realising his parents were dead, he was sent to a nursing home called Nebraska House, while James' sister, Lauren is sent to live with another relative.
One day, James and Lauren had been found missing from their orphanages. Their lives has changed forever starting now. The CHERUB recruits capable orphans from orphanages all over UK, training them as child spies and agents. What is so ingenious about this method is that no one suspects that children are being used in missions that generally involve adults, such as stopping drug trafficking, terrorism, etc. The children are trained from as young as possible, learning various skills, such as martial arts, which could aid them in missions, but obviously they are given a choice on whether to stay in the orphanages or to be recruited into CHERUB.
In the series, you will meet James, Lauren, Jake, Kerry, Kyle, and others going on various hair-raising undercover missions. You would wish this adventure was completely true and you could be in it. So open up the book and get ready to enter the CHERUB campus!
