It ends with an exciting tour of a casino where Kazakov and one of the Cherubs walk away with a lot of money thanks to the technology at their disposal. Good for junior class. Uses accessible language for teens. Easy to read Book Recommendation of Robert Muchamore’s The General by Jeron Lek Year 7 The General is part of The Cherub Series. It came out in 2008 and is the 10th book in the series. The Cherub Series is about a secret organisation called Cherub which uses kids aged 10-17 to work undercover. Most Cherub agents are orphans who have been taken out of care homes and they are trained to work undercover. They live on Cherub campus, which is a secret facility hidden in the English countryside. The genre of this book is action and young adult spy fiction. In The General, James, Kazakov, Lauren and a couple of their friends go to the largest urban warfare training compound in the world which is in a desert near Las Vegas. It is run by the US Army and British Special Forces and the Cherub agents are going to be in a massive war game up against American Troops doing urban warfare training. They are going to help train the American army by pretending to be rebels and going up against them. I really enjoyed The General because it is filled with action and I was never bored whilst reading it. It has some funny and serious parts in it, which made it really enjoyable to read. It described really well what the characters where going through and made it really easy to picture it in your mind. I recommend this book to kids/teenagers over the age of 12. no reviews | add a review

The action was good. But I'm having a bit of a read of a reading slump and I feel like I should remove a star. Or half a star. It's really four and a half. Maybe a bit more. I just couldn't quite get into it, although under normal circumstances I would've loved it. And have loved it. I've read this quite a few times. I'm going to leave it at five stars, but please note this read through wasn't quite five. ( )
