The recruit / Robert Muchamore

When James' mum dies, he and his sister Lauren are all on their own, passed between orphanages until one day James is recruited by CHERUB - a secret branch of intelligence services that uses kids to spy on adults. Put into a rigorous training programme that challenges him mentally and physically, James must push himself to his limits to succeed. A thrilling action spy adventure, I really enjoyed it.

Who would enjoy this?  CHERUB is a must read for people who enjoy young spy adventures like Alex Rider.
