Moje prvé stretnutie s Cherubom. A chcem viac. Cherub je organizácia, ktorá trénuje nedospelé siroty ako tajných agentov (Otázka za milión: "Prečo?" Odpoveď, z ktorej nemôžem doteraz: "Lebo nikomu by nenapadlo, že sa to dá!") Hlavný hrdina James má 12 rokov a skupinka detí sa ocitá na misií, kde sa musia skamarátiť s deťmi drogového dílera, pretože tam, kde by boli dospeláci podozriví, majú deti voľnú cestu.

Nepresvedčil ma akurát slabý začiatok, no odkedy sa James ocitá na misií, všetko ide tak More...

Ich finde der zweite Teil von Top Secret ist wirklich sehr sehr gut! Ich habe das buch so gerne gelesen, ich habe garnicht gemerkt wie schnell ich eigentlich vorankam. Aber das ist auch kein Wunder, ich fand die Geschichte so spannend. Erstmal fand ich die Mission super ich habe alle Leute sofort ins Herz geschlossen. Also das James sich mit Junior angefreundet hat. Naja die Umstände sind vielleicht nicht die besten, denn es ist James Mission sich mit dem Sohn von dem Drogendealer der KMG anzufr More...

The book CHERUB: Class A is the second book of the series CHERUB. The CHERUB series is based on a boy named James. In the first book James mom dies and he is recruited to Cherub. Cherub is a organization that recruits kids without parents and turns them into spies that work with MI5 agents. I chose this book because I had previously read the first book of this series, CHERUB: The Recruit. This book has a very suspenseful, exciting, interesting text. You think that it would be weird and considere More...

In the case James, Kyle, Nicole and Kerry go undercover as teenagers and befriend a successful drug dealer's sons and daughters.

Brief Key Events:

James learn about the bonds that he can develop on a mission with Keith and Junior. He kills his first man through self defence. I particularly did not like that it happened so early within series when he was only 12. I remember in the Alex Rider series, Horowitz held it off 'til the very last book and I quite liked it because Alex is was st More...

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 More...

Okay I lied. Maybe I couldn't wait because;

1.) I was curious as to what was going to happen next with James after it had left like it did in the first book The Recruit.

AND....

2.) I had already found it, and I mean if its there in reach, read it right?!

ANYWAYS!

Putting it plain and simple, Class A being the second book in the CHERUB series was pretty good. I think I may have enjoyed this one better than the first. Though the ending made me mad, just because it was done too soon and i wanted so More...

If the story wasn't so brilliant, great to read, and impossible to put down, I'd throw this book away for it's language. The author clearly states he's going for "the-real-world-feel", but what kind of writer wants to fill kids' minds with swearing and 12 year olds getting passionate about their "girls". It's a bit inappropriate. The story, the whole idea of CHERUB, is great. I love reading the action, the adventures, the scrapes these spy kids get into. But the book definitely has a low standar More...

This book was originally called The Dealer and my copy goes by that title so I got confused because I was searching for a different title. I was surprised at how many there are in this series when I searched by series title. I'm really into books like I, Q; Alex Rider; and, of course, Cherub Missions. They are all so awesome, I just love the whole teenage spy thing! It sounds so cool! If you like that sort of thing, go for it! The Cherub Missions are absolutely amazing, the first one, Mission: T More...

I read this book for 4 quarter

I liked this book a lot because it had a lot of action and adventure. I love reading action books because they are really interesting. I think they have a lot of detail in the books that have action. The first book of the series inspired me to read the second one because it was really good. I also like reading books in a series because I already know the main characters.

In the beginning of the book. James Adams, the main character, stays in the training facility. T More...

James har prøvet en lille testmission mod nogle øko-terrorister, men nu står den første store mission for døren. En britisk narkobaron ved navn Keith Moore har på forunderlig vis altid undgået politiets fælder og fangarme, og Moore har så mange år i branchen, at han kender alle politiets tricks to dage før de bliver iværksat. Men Moore kender ikke Cherub, og for at hans voksne kumpaner ikke hele tiden skal ryge i spjældet, sender han børne-cykelbude ud med kokain til kunderne.

The Cherub organization recruits children(usaully aged under 10)as agents for discovering intel on other organizations scattered around the world committing crimes and felonies. These children are trained until age ten so until their skills are tested to see if they are ready for the field. Once they pass the intense training schedule, they are placed on missions, usually minor if they have recently gone through training. There are elders that keep the whole agency running and also people who se More...

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.

Class A

Rating - I rate this book four stars because the book was written very well and the plot was very funny and interesting. The things I did not like about the book is how the characters personalities compared to the first book in this series,'' The Recruit''.

Brief Summary - Class A starts with the main character James being un-fit for cherub. That is an essential piece of information in this novel. He is forced to run 10km every morning except Thursdays when he has training, because of his More...

The Cherub book series, built around the premise of MI5 recruiting teen and pre-teen orphans for top secret missions, reads like it was pitched as Byker Grove meets Spooks. This installment, Class A, has a plot shamelessly designed to make adults clutch their pearls: 12-year-old James and some other "CHERUBs" go undercover as low-level cocaine dealers, in order to take down a drug kingpin.

Unfortunately, in execution, the story is heavy on the mundane Byker Grove aspects of its premise (kids kick More...

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 undercov More...

Class A, by Robert Muchamore, is an exciting novel with engaging action, with occasional stereotypes and bland writing. The book is centered around the life of James Adams, a 12 year old who has been recruited into a supersecret british child spy agency. In this second book of the series, he infiltrates a drug gang with the goal of taking down the leadership (and specifically the leader, Keith Moore), through a friendship with his son. This leads to a story about James trying to fulfill his mis More...

The Dealer is the second in the Cherub series and I enjoyed it just as much the first book, The Recruit. The protagonists are teens trained by MI5 to work as spies, infiltrating businesses and helping the adult spies take down the bad guys. Along with the action and adventure, there is teen behavior such as a bit of romance (real and imagined) and poor choices which lead to danger. This title follows four Cherubs as they work to gather information about a drug lord and to do so, the teens allow More...

I read this book because I had read the first CHERUB book and wanted to read the series.

This book goes on the "Book with a main male character" square on my bingo board.

"Class A" is about James Adams and his mission set out by his superiors to bring down KMG, Britain's most dangerous drug cartel, by becoming a cocaine transporter himself. To do this, he has to befriend the leader of the KMG, Keith Moore, 12 year old son Junior Moore who is a druggie. This book is by-far the best book in the CHER More...

When James Choke's mother dies, it looks as though he's on the fast track to a young offender's institution. It seems as though luck is on his side, however, when he is recruited into CHERUB, a secret branch of the government that trains and uses children as spies. He becomes James Adams, and his new life begins.

Class A covers James's second big mission as part of the CHERUB organisations. James and three other CHERUB agents (Kyle, Kerry and Nicole) are given the task of helping MI5 task force, More...

Cherub the dealer #2

This book is surprisingly fun to read because of how the author wrote it and makes you connect well with the kids of cherub. The author uses manipulation in this book for example the author makes you feel for the kids and even with the bad kids makes you feel bad for them. This book makes me want to keep reading on because of the climatic events for example James must go to Florida to bust KMG, a drug gang, to stop the amount off drugs being sent back to England.

This is an old favourite of mine, the Cherub series as a whole. It was, in many ways, the beginning of my transition from children's books, to YA stuff, so I remember it fondly. I was a little disappointed to read it back and see how, firstly, certain things seem dated about it- it's a flaw in Muchamore's writing I think, in including dates and details like that, he gives his books somewhat of a shelf life. Also, the quality of the writing isn't what I thought it was when I was 11 or so; Muchamo More...

when James tries to run away from the bad guys with a Range Rover in Miami, he knew the roads when John Jones told him to meet up with him. So in real life a boy that's 12 (recently turned 13), is unlikely to know the way in Miami and he has only stayed there for a few More...

I Thought Class A was a good book. I wish it could have been longer of have more of a storie to it, but what it did have was good. The story was good but it the book only had one main plot, with not many if any suprises. It had plenty of exitment, which was good, but had not much else. I think the book could have been made much better by making some sub plots or something.
Some parts of the book got confusing or had to much detail so that it confused the reader. I would recommend reading this b More...

This book is the 2nd of its series and this time James has to befriend a drug lord's son and try to bring down him down. James has to go through gun shoot outs, and think of whether to take drugs or not.
I really liked this book because it had plenty of action and funny scenes. It also had some very tense moments.
