“The Killing” is one of Robert Muchamore`s bestselling novels. It is really great and I can really recommend it.
The story is about a teenage boy called James Adams. His mom died, so he was sent to an organisation called CHERUB where kids and teenagers are tought to be agents. All those children live on campus (the headquaters of CHERUB). One day James freaks out and beats up another child. As a consequence he gets punished by the teachers and has to clean the staffrooms for at least a month. But a very generous mission controller sends him on a mission to London. And that`s where the action starts…
