Class A (CHERUB #2) (Bk. 2) [Paperback]

Robert Muchamore (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 14, 2004

CHERUB is not James Bond. There are no master criminals or high-tech gadgets. CHERUB kids slip under adult radar and get information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail. Keith Moore is Europe's biggest cocaine dealer. The police have been trying to get enough evidence to nail him for more than twenty years. Now, four CHERUB agents are joining the hunt. Can a group of kids successfully infiltrate Keith Moore's organisation, when dozens of attempts by undercover police officers have failed? James Adams has to start at the bottom, making deliveries for small-time drug dealers and getting to know the dangerous underworld they inhabit. He needs to make a big splash if he's going to win the confidence of the man at the top.

or those of you missing life after alex rider this is the book for you!
this book is the excellent sequel to 'the recruit' by robert muchamoore- an original tale of child spies who live in the real world. this sequel follows the story of JamesAdams (formerly James choke) and his new life at cherub. this book is rich and original - a breath of fresh air after the gloom and doom of scorpia. the characters in this sequal are vibrant and relaistic and believable. i'll try not to give away too much about the nature of this latest cherub book but involves drug smuggling and lots of action! die hard alex rider fans and new readers alike will enjoy this cracking book as James, lauren, kerry, amy, bruce and kyle return once more and re just as entertaining as in the recruit. i would definitely recommend buying this book as it has lots of re-readability. overall this book deserves 5/5.

Honestly, I loved the book. It has everything I like in a novel, and at times I was jumping around my room pretending to fight drug dealers. BUT, i HATE the price! It was $11.00 when I saw it, and the next day I brought it for $17?! I was so annoyed, but nevertheless I purchased it- because it was one dollar less than dymocks.

I adored it, but seriously- too much money.

This is a fabulous series for children aged 12 - 100. This is a captivating series. I can only wish books like this existed when I was a child. Well done Mr Muchamore.
