1. Right now in the book James (main character) is in a car with a animal terrorist who is part of the AFM (Animal Freedom Militia). Her name is Jo, and her father was a rich singer/songwriter so she has enough money to fund groups like the AFM. James has successfully infiltrated the AFM and is trying to get the right information that M15 (British Intelligence Agency) needs to bring these terrorists down.

2. Right now I feel good about the book. So far it is very suspenseful and you want to keep reading. Especially the parts where there are action like when James got in a fight with an ex-convict animal rights terrorist. I think these books as a series are very interesting because you can really put yourself in the main character's shoes and feel like what is happening in the book is really happening to you.

3. In the book so far I see the theme of trust. The members of the MFA all trust James because they think that he is one of them. Trust is not always neccesarily a good thing, like in this case it is helping the right team win but at the same time it iis still deceiving a group of people. Also James trusts M15 that they will have his back, if he ever gets in to trouble.

4. My favorite character is James. James is a funny kid, he is always making jokes. Also, like I said before, he is fourteen like me so it is easy to relate to him. James is also very good at being a teenage spy, because he is able to do things like infiltrate the MFA. This also contributes to him being my favorite character because not just anyone could do that job.

5. My least favorite character is Jo. She is one of the heads of the terrorist organization, this makes her pretty unlikable. Also she seems to not be completely under control. Several times she has flipped out and pointed her gun at and even shot someone, because she was angry about something that couldn't be changed.

6. I predict that eventually James will bring the MFA down. I know for a fact that he will make it out of this mission alive because I have read some of the other Cherub books that come after this one. I think pretty soon James will get Jo to tell him where she is hiding all her money and then he will be able to steal it, and or cut her off from it so that the MFA will have no more funding.
