The Dealer

I love this series. The charachters are well developed, the vocabulary is rich, and the adventure is high, and it never gets boring. I reccomend this series for anyone between 12 and 18.

This book is not one to disappoint. In fact I am a slow reader and I was able to read this book all the way through on a five hour flight! Muchamore's best writing characteristic is his characters they are deep and REAL which makes this book and all his others excellent beyond comparison. In fact I ordered some of his other books from England because they were not available in US.

I purchased this book for my 14-year old son. He loves this series. Read each book in a couple of days because he couldn't set it down.

The Dealer By: Robert Muchamore The book I read was The Dealer by Robert Muchamore. In this report I will be telling you all about the book. I will tell you things about the main characters to the plot, the setting and my opinion on the book. Well I know you can't wait to read this let's get started. "Good Guys": The main character in this book is James Adams. He was also the main character in the first book in this series. James is a 13 year old boy who works for a secret part of the British Military called Cherub. Kyle Blueman is one of James best friends at Cherub. Kyle met James at an orphanage while recruiting for Cherub. Kerry Chang is also one of James best friends at Cherub and he has a little crush on her. James and Kerry went through basic training together (basic training is a 100 day training period where agents prove they are worthy to be in Cherub). Nicole Eddison is another Cherub agent, one of James and Kerry's friends. James little sister Lauren, is also at Cherub, but she hasn't passed basic training yet. "Bad Guys": The main bad guy is Keith Moore. He is a drug dealer and head of Keith Moore's Gang. Keith Moore Jr. (aka junior) is one Keith Moore's son (more about him later). April Moore is one of Keith Moore's daughter. Ringo Moore is Keith's other son and Erin is his other daughter. Dinesh is the son of Keith Moore's business partner, who helps bag cocaine for Keith Moore. The story is about how four kids (James, Kerry, Kyle and Nicole) help bust the drug dealer Keith Moore. The kids assignments on the mission are to befriend the Moore children. James has to befriend Junior, Kerry and Erin, Nicole and April and Kyle is supposed to befriend Ringo. This is a dangerous job. James becomes a drug deliverer for Keith and so does Kerry. Nicole gets a thing going with Junior and James pretends to like April. James, April, Nicole and Junior all are friends and they go over to the Moore house a lot. Kerry finds out about Dineshe's Dad and Kerry James and his sister Laurens investigate the warehouse and found where Keith gets his cocaine bagged. James and Kerry get their cocaine stolen on a test run and they fight to get it back. After they do, Keith is very proud of them and tells them that Kerry can work with James on deliveries. After a party Nicole and Junior use cocaine and Nicole has to go to the hospital. Junior invite's James to go to Miami with him and his dad, Keith. On one of there last nights in Miami there house gets ambushed and James kill's a man in self defense. Then James runs away and meets up with the DEA official who has been helping him. They end up getting Keith Moore in prison for 15-20 years. This story's setting takes place in a couple of places in London and in Miami, Florida. The theme of this novel is about kids our age that work for MI5 and they help put a drug leader into prison. I absolutely loved this story. I have read this book around 8 or 9 times. I can't stop reading it.

After Cherub: the recruit came out i thought it looked good and i went and bought it. Little did i know that i would have finished it within six hours, as it was the best book i've ever read, until its sequel came out Cherub: class A. Cherub: class A is about a cocaine dealer named Kieth Moore who receives cocaine from South America, and then sells it throughout England, using tennagers as the delivery boys. James Adams, who is a CHERUB agent (children used as spies by British Intelligence) is sent to Luton where Kieth Moore lives along with his friends Kerry Chang, Kyle Blueman and Nicole Eddison. He makes friends with Junior Moore, Kieth's son, and Kerry makes friends with Dinesh, an Indian boy whose dad works with Kieth. Lauren, James' sister comes to Luton for a few days on her birthday and in the process helps James and Kerry infiltrate a factory where all the cocaine was being developed. This led to many arrests, and Kieth went to Miami with his son, who invited James to come along. There a South American group called Lambayeke attacked Kieth, Junior and James, and Junior and Keith were both arrested with gun wounds, james was taken to the Miami home of John Jones, an MI5 agent.The ideas of Robert Muchamore are fabulous, and if you have read the Recruit, read this, if you haven't read the recruit read them both!
