Over the years, CHERUB has put plenty of criminals behind bars. Now, for the first time ever, they've got to break one out ...

Under American law, kids convicted of serious crimes can be sentenced as adults. Two hundred and eighty of these child criminals live in the sunbaked desert prison of Arizona Max.

CHERUB kids are trained professionals, working in everyday situations. Their essential advantage: adults never suspect that children are spying on them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maximum Security = Maximum Enjoyment 29 Mar 2005

By "shibby_666"

Format:Paperback

Maximum Securtity - The UNMISSABLE 3rd installment in the Cherub Series, kicks more ass than your average navy shirt agent.

This book finds James Adams, our young hero, and his sister, lauren, infiltrating the maximum security prison in Arizona desert. Sent there, to escape with the son of a 'FBI Most wanted criminal', he soon learns the dangers of being inside prison, and eventually, the dangers of being on the run from the law.

Packed with more kicks, punches, guns, and explosions than you handle, this book will blow you away. The emotive writing style, mixed with the immeasurable imagination of Rob Muchamore, makes this book, an absolute must. Order yours today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in the series so far! You must buy this book! 21 Mar 2005

By Lauren Gardner

Format:Paperback

The third installment of the CHERUB series is full of intense action and excitement. In my opinion this is Muchamore's best book in the series so far. This book has it all - car chases, prison breakouts, automatic weapons, martial arts, and even the odd bit of teenage romance.

It far outstrips it's competition in the child-spy genre by offering something original that the others don't have; it mixes wild adventures with many realistic, down to earth points that all of us can identify with, making us feel that we ourselves can be CHERUB agents. The books in this series are ideally read in the right order (Recruit, Class A, Max Security) to get the full impact, but there's enough backstory given in the text make it readable before the others, and jog the memory of the forgetful ones amongst us, without seeming at all patronising.

This book is so good it should encourage any TV teenager to read more often - costs less than a pay view movie, last longer, and is infinitely more enjoyable.

You must buy this book, today!

5.0 out of 5 stars kids empowered by guns and guts, not magic 28 Mar 2005

By Caroline Lawrence

Format:Paperback

Robert Muchamore's third book in the CHERUB series is as good if not better than the first two. When I read his first book, The Recruit, in proof form at a children's writers' conference last year, I knew it would appeal enormously to reluctant readers � mainly boys � who would rather play violent video games like Grand Theft Auto or watch Vin Diesel. I was right. The series has really taken off with kids and Muchamore already has a growing fan base.

Unlike Anthony Horowitz's Alex Ryder series, the kids at Cherub ARE allowed guns. And they use them. This is one of the appeals of the book. Some grandparents and librarians may not approve of the references to bodily functions, young teen snogging, violence and murder, but it is these very things that will get boys reading.

The three books in the CHERUB series are extremely well-researched and offer fascinating glimpses into social worlds that many children will (hopefully) never see: religious cults, maximum security prisons, and the roughest council estates.

Maximum Security also passes my test for a good kids' book: it is as un-put-downable for adults as it is for children.
