​

The seedy underworld of Britain is controlled by a violent street gang known as the Slasher Boys. When they trigger a violent and explosive turf war against their rivals the Mad Dogs, CHERUB sends in a handful of agents, including James Adams, on a highly dangerous mission to try and take down both gangs from the inside.

​

If you have a Robert Muchamore fan in your house, they're bound to enjoy this story from him. There are 16 books in total in Robert's bestselling series, and this is the eighth.

​

Just like with the other books in this series, there are heaps of cool action sequences, like street fights and break-ins, that teens will enjoy reading about.

​

There is also plenty of Robert's trademark sense of humour throughout the story as well, like when James gets bitten in an embarrassing place by a snake, which teens will enjoy as well.

​

The only thing that might put new readers off however, is that it takes a long while for the action to really get going, but I don't think that will be much of a problem if teens already know this series.

​

Overall this is another action-packed story from a talented YA writer, and a great choice for fans of this series.
