Product Description

Review

'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) (Amanda Craig, The Times )

'It has the feel of something quite big and satisfying...Muchamore's voice is fresh and direct.' (The Escape) (The Daily Telegraph )

'Mixes espionage and gritty realism when dealing with children in the midst of a war' (Waterstones Quarterly, March 2009 )

'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) (Aaron, 14, First News )

Praise for books in the CHERUB series: 'Punchy, exciting, glamorous and, what's more, you'll completely wish it was true.' (The Sunday Express )

'an exciting action packed tale... a thrilling page turner that you won't want to put down'

(Liverpool Echo )


Product Description

Charles Henderson is the last British spy left in occupied France in 1940, living on a farm near Calais with four runaway kids cut adrift by the war. He and his young agents are playing a dangerous game: translating for the German high command and sending information back to Britain about the Nazi plans to invade England in September, on Eagle Day. The RAF must destroy the Nazi invasion fleet, but Northern France is heavily defended and the camouflaged barges are impossible to target at night. Together, Henderson and his team hatch a daring plan to guide the British bombers to their target. Their lives are on the line, but the stakes couldn’t possibly be higher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic, believable- for young and old alike, 14 Jun 2009
By A. V. Tran "Book God" (Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read many books by this author and one things always impresses me. The dialogue. Some authors muck it up entirely and the conversations sound so fake and cheesy you do not want to read on. Now Muchamore, manages a realistic style of dialogue, made even more impressive as most of the conversations take place between children- it sounds utterly like what teenagers would say and react.
He also manages to recreate the atmosphere perfectly, and i can see the book is well researched and thought out. I'm looking forward to the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sequel from a great author., 6 Jun 2009
By Mr. L. J. Reeves - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading the previous book in the 'Henderson's boys series' I decided to pre-order this book. I was not dissapointed. The author manages to provide a gritty realistic picture of occupied France as well as a good plot and relateable characters. Overall five stars - a definite recommendation - Buy this book!

The Cherub books have been enormously successful, but perhaps become a little "samey" over the last two books. However,these two "Hendersons Boys" books are really excellent ! Read more
