About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the weight of high expectations or struggling with the fallout of a major mistake. It speaks directly to the experience of being under a microscope and the isolation that comes when peers or authority figures turn against you. The story follows James Adams, a teen spy who is grounded after a botched mission, only to find himself entangled in a conspiracy involving a suspicious death at an aero-space research facility. While the plot is high-octane, the emotional core focuses on professional integrity and the resilience required to stand up for the truth when your reputation is already compromised. Parents should be aware that the CHERUB series features gritty realism, including teenage rebellion and coarse language, making it best for mature middle schoolers and high school students. It serves as a great bridge for reluctant readers who want high-stakes action while exploring the complexity of trust and justice in a world of secrets.
