This was an amazing book that I read. The book is set in WW|| occupied Europe. C.H.E.R.U.B (Charles Henderson's Espionage Research Unit B) is a group of covert spies who are all children trained, gathered and run by Charles Henderson. The characters are Troy, an orphan who while trying to protect his brother was abused by his orphanage and rescued by C.H.E.R.U.B. Then there is Marc, a kid who rescued the founder of C.H.E.R.U.B after running away from his orphanage and helping become the first C....more

A sign of a good book? Reading it straight through in an evening, pausing only to grab a drink or food. Well, that's what I did with this one because I literally couldn't put it down!
The Henderson's Boys series is pretty much a prequel to the CHERUB series. CHERUB is an organisation that was set up by Charles Henderson during World War II, training youngsters to become secret agents - because no one suspects a kid. The first two books have had Henderson, along with a handful of war orphans, scup...more

Secret Army is set in world war 2 Britain.Secret Army is an awesome book about children training to become secret war agents to destroy Germany form within. In this novel Henderson and his boys have to fight to keep there training programme going and to do this they have to parachute into hostile area, capture an anti aircraft gun and return to Britain. Can they make it back oin one piece
The third of the Henderson Series was again a great story. I love how Muchamore goes into detail about each and every one of the characters so you feel like your actually with them. I generally liked this book apart from a new character comes in called Luc and to be frank I really don't like him haha... But it's a great way to see how CHERUB started and I enjoyed reading the background story. You should definitely read it.
The biggest problem I had with this book was the number of times the kids attacked adults with considerable violence without considering the consequences. Smashing someone over the head with a 'giant wrench' could easily result in brain damage or death - yet no one seemed at all concerned at Rosie's actions.
Breaking the habit of five stars here with Secret Army. It had a lot of pointless drama included for what, at the moment, seems absolutely no reason.
Luc was a sore spot for me as well, as was Joan for the limited time she was in it.
All in all though, another good book by a great author :)

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first two as it was mostly about training for parachute drops. However I am still looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
The first book I have read of this series.. yet. i plan to read more in the future as it was quite entertaining. Robert Muchamore writes well.
Well I guess this book is interesting, but I think the most interesting series by Robert Muchamore is Cherub.
Not as good as the other two but I still enjoyed reading it. This book was more about preparing, training and meeting new characters. 4/5
this book was a great read because it had allot of my favorite things inside
Excellent as always. Lots of background. Mission was riveting. I couldn't put it down
YA's will love this series about teenagers as spies during WWII!
Secret Army is the book in this series where it actually feels like a prequel to CHERUB. This is the book where the organization is formed, and you get to meet even more new characters.
Great book, great mission. What else can I say?
it was good
keeps good! CHERUB BEGINS!
super book
Very interesting and lot of adventure. I thought world war 2 was going on right know. There are characters of all kinds.
It is an action packed book full of surprises! It is great for 11 and up!
A very good book.
Cant say have nt finished it yet
great 3rd book.
I absolutely love learning about WW2 and these books give you information about it and also puts a fiction twist on it
