Hendersons Boys

2nd reveiw YAY. Now this is a series by Robert Muchamore (the authour of CHEREB) which is set in worldwarII when the Nazis take over France. So it is educational but it thinks of the reader more than the facts (the facts are more an added bonus!) No doubt some facts would've had to be looked up but for historical accuracy rather than to pack in the book. Now people seem to assume that Hendersons Boys is a CHEREB series but just set in the past. This is because in the background story Henderson started CHEREB! Now however that may be true this is alot more action than the real-life in CHEREB. The first book is called: the escape. It however still has gross bits that I find unessecery and have no need to be in the story (like in the 2nd book where 3 boys walk in to see a man and a woman "doing it". Highly unessecery and just plain gross! To find out who this man and woman are read the books!). It's still good but has a 12+ rating.





My rating: 8/10

Your parents:4/10 They wouldn't be amused!!! (note to parents/libarians it is amazing how many reluctant readers like these books and laugh at the gross bits. Plus it makes it gritty and not just anouther plain adventure story. So turn a blind eye!!!)

What it's about: Two English children are in France with their dad. When their dad dies they are left in France on their own. Meanwhile an orphan, Marc, escapes from an orphanage. All this wrapped together with a dangerous spy who will kill anyone (even children) make this a heart-stopping adventure!
