Britain, 1941.

The government is building a secret army of intelligence agents to work undercover, gathering information and planning sabotage operations. Henderson’s boys are part of that network: kids cut adrift by the war, training for the fight of their lives. They’ll have to parachute into unknown territory, travel cross-country and outsmart a bunch of adults in a daredevil exercise.

In wartime Britain, anything goes.

Reviews

Amanda Craig, The Times
'Muchamore's plain, punchy,often funny style ... is highly effective. This clever, tense novel is a great way of getting bored boys interested in history.' (The Escape)
Waterstones Quarterly, March 2009
Mixes espionage and gritty realism when dealing with children in the midst of a war
The Daily Telegraph
'It has the feel of something quite big and satisfying...Muchamore's voice is fresh and direct.' (The Escape)
Aaron, 14, First News
'This book was un-putdownable. It gripped me from start to finish, and was just as good as the CHERUB series, if not better.' (The Escape)
The Sunday Express
Praise for books in the CHERUB series: 'Punchy, exciting, glamorous and, what's more, you'll completely wish it was true.'
