Challenge For The Week Of June 4th K.S

For this week's challenge I had to choose a book that I have read in the past that was a very interesting book yet had a horrible book cover. After a while I chose the book "The Recruit" by Robert Munchamore. This book's cover is a dirty orange shirt that has little to no actual meaning to the book, because the story this book tells is about a boy named James who has never really been good at anything but had almost everything thanks to his mother. But one day his(stupid) step-father/boyfriend to his mother gives his mother too much alcohol after her surgery(I told you he was an idiot) and she dies from an overdose while James and his little sister are orphaned (and their "dad" doesn't want to take responsibility). James is then sent to a "camp" where he's recruited to a special organization named "Cherub" who(obviously) recruits(get it?) and trains children from the age of 12-18 and sends them on mission to capture fugitives/terrorists because no one expects a kid to be an agent. Hardly anyone knows about this organization besides the president and a couple high officials in the government. As James is now recruited he goes through Cherub boot camp to be an official Cherub agent. Over all I found this book very good but after the first couple of books I found it as if the story was practically repeating itself. If I had to recommend this book I'd say you would have to be in 8th grade+ (maturity wise).
