Overview
The CHERUB Series 1 Collection gathers the first five novels in Robert Muchamore's bestselling young-adult spy thriller series in one paperback set. Follow James Adams from his brutal hundred-day basic training through four dangerous undercover missions, infiltrating drug gangs, a maximum-security prison, and a dangerous cult. Muchamore's fast-paced, no-nonsense storytelling has made CHERUB a favorite among reluctant readers and thriller fans alike. This set is an ideal way to introduce teen readers to a gripping, long-running series full of tension and loyalty.

About the Books
CHERUB imagines a secret British intelligence unit that recruits orphaned and troubled children to spy on adults who would never suspect a kid could be an undercover agent. The Recruit opens the series with James Adams's grueling induction into CHERUB campus life and its notorious hundred-day training course. Class A then sends James and his teammates undercover to bring down one of Europe's biggest cocaine dealers by befriending his children, blurring the line between duty and deception. Maximum Security raises the stakes further, placing James inside an Arizona prison to engineer a breakout tied to an international arms dealer. The Killing shifts toward mystery as James investigates a death that occurred over a year earlier, with only one witness, who is also now dead. Divine Madness closes the set with a sprawling mission spanning an eco-terrorist group and a wealthy cult, sending James undercover across continents to uncover a dangerous conspiracy. Across all five books, Muchamore maintains a brisk, cinematic pace while never losing sight of the emotional cost of asking children to do an adult's dangerous job, and themes of trust and loyalty recur throughout.
