What do You think about Class A (2006)?
A gripping and intense book can offer an amazing experience to readers. It can transport its audience to a different continent and even alter how they think in their everyday lives. Cherub: The Dealer written by Robert Muchamore and published in 2005 offers this unique occurrence. The book follows James, a young spy, as he takes on missions only previously attempted by highly trained adults. A classic theme told through a young and fresh perspective is joined in this book to produce an excellent read. tCherub, a home and training facility to many young spies, lends its guidance to James. He is educated and straight away goes on his very first in mission in the first book of the Cherub series. The second book begins with a training exercise, which quickly transitions into an intense mission. James must take down one of the largest drug cartels in existence, the KMG. The assignment requires James to befriend “Junior” the son of Keith Moore, head of KMG. This young spy finds himself delivering illegal drugs, battling evil criminals, and interpreting foreign feelings. The mission takes a toll that no minor should have to deal with, however James handles it all with maturity. tOverall, the story was impressive. The book had the attention-grabbing factor of a criminal drama on television, which is difficult to come across. I have an interest in entertainment that possesses this kind of factor. Personally, this book achieved what I was looking for and more. It seems to take you on a journey with James and then you find yourself thinking like a spy and predicting what James will do next. However, the author always seems to keep the book’s audience on its toes by writing the unexpected. The story is also thought provoking. I found myself wondering if these spy agencies really do exist or if I could ever pull off being a spy and would I even enjoy it? Society seems to have glamorized the life of being such a thing, but the book does an impeccable job of describing how it is not a fun and games. For example, the reality of having a job that requires you to deal with people that would like you dead becomes all too real. Excellent parts of the text include the initial training mission as well as interesting twists on the real mission such as James’ newfound love for the highly sought after criminal Keith Moore and a heart breaking experience in his own family. This book possesses a wide audience because it can be interpreted and enjoyed by the young as well as admired by the old.

I chose to read this book because because I read the first book in the series and I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed this book because it had a good plot and I like the general concept of the CHERUB series.This fits under my bingo board category "book with a male author"Class A is the second book in the CHERUB series. it is about a boy called James going on his second undercover mission for his organisation, CHERUB. The reason CHERUB chose kids is that they say "people don't expect kids to be undercover spies". James is assigned to a mission involving a suspected king pin called Kieth Moore in a massive drug organisation. James is ordered to befriend a boy from his temporary school called Junior, Kieth's son.I have nothing to criticize about this book and everything to like about it.I would recommend this book to people who have read The recruit (the first book in the CHERUB series) and that are looking for a great book series.

tThe dealer, the next book in the CHERUB series, were James must face is most daring mission yet. His mission, track down some of the world's most dangerous drug dealers. James and his partners must track them down. Now these drug dealers don’t deal it themselves, they find children to deal the drugs for them. Now you may be thinking that this book isn’t really good for teens or young adults because of the drugs, but in the end of the book it really does have a point, and the point is that kids really should stay away from drugs. But since there are drugs involved in this book, I would say that it is a young adult book. The book is really good, better than his first book, filled with more action and bigger decisions that have to be made. It is filled with action and adventure and I am sure that anyone who reads this book will want to go to Barnes and Noble to by the next book in the series.tThis book is a young adult type of book. You really need to be a little older to read this book. It is just a little more mature than some books that I have read, especially when drugs are included in the book. But if you're old enough to understand that drugs are bad then you are good. It really is a great book and I do recommend it to anyone who wants to read a quick, easy book filled with action on every page.
