About this listen

 A terrorist doesn't let strangers in her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place.

The terrorist doesn't know that a kid has bugged every room in her house, cloned the hard drive on her PC, and copied all the numbers in her phone book. The kid works for CHERUB.

CHERUB agents are aged between ten and seventeen. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar and getting information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail.

CHERUB: THE RECRUIT is read by Simon Scardifield.

I remember not being a fan of books and when my mum handed me this book when I was 14, I was hesitant. Since then, I’ve become much more of an avid reader as a result. Going back over these books in audio form now as an adult and it’s bringing back many a good memory.

Highly recommend! Audiobook is also really well done

THE MOST UNDERRATED BOOK SERIES EVER

Enyone who has read HIVE will also love cherub. Except it is better than HIVE. This is the first in an extraordinary series of gripping books. I would recommend it to enyone. (It is also like young bond or even James bond, just for younger people).

Like HIVE
