I wasn’t expecting much when I picked this up at the last FOTL book sale, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had reading it. I actually blazed through it in about six hours (including dinner breaks, etc), and I’m even looking forward to reading the next nine books in the series.
The Recruit is about a kid named James who get into trouble often and is on his way to a life of crime and jail time. Then, when his mother dies, James is recruited to a subsection of MI5: CHERUB, where the agents are all 17 and under. They go where adult agents can’t, get in where adults would only be barred, and James isn’t sure he can do it. But all he has to do is pass basic training and then he’ll be CHERUB’s newest agent– except he might die trying.
