Cherub:The General by Jack Muchamore

I love the cherub series. Why? Because it is action-packed, witty, funny and brilliant, all put into one. Yet the last book, Sleep Walker was in my opinion terrible compared to the rest. So I wondered, has Cherub had its time now into it's 10th book? But as I started to read The General the old Cherub came out and reminded me of the first few books of the series.

The General is about James and all the main characters going to a American training facility and playing out the terrorist's. The Ukrainian, American hater, Cherub trainer comes along as well and the party kicks off. The story has a few jokes and plenty of action making the cherub series proud.

P.S: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WHEN YOU HAVE LOTS OF HOMEWORK TO DO BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP READING IT.

Peak by Roland Smith

An action-packed adventure about friendship, sacrifice and risking everything for Everest. That was the publishers review, and Peak is basically that. It's about a teenage boy who gets caught climbing a skyscraper, you know, like we all do. He is faced with the choice of going to live with his father in Thailand or Juvenile detention. As you would expect he chooses to live with his father. The only thing is that his dad wants him to be the youngest person to climb Mt.Everest.

The story has lots of suspense and you seem to be one of the characters, which is good. The real life facts about climbing I found interesting but some bits in the story made my teeth grind. An easy book to get into with it's fair share of action, Peak makes a good read for ages 12-15.
