Bookroo's summary

In a world where children are the ultimate spies, a young CHERUB agent infiltrates a terrorist's home, bugging every room and cloning her data. As the stakes rise, can this unassuming child gather the intel needed to bring down a dangerous criminal? With no gadgets or glamour, these kids operate in the shadows, unseen by adults, yet crucial to national security. What secrets will be uncovered, and at what cost?
