Maximum Security by Robert Muchamore - ADVISABLE

Muchamore, Robert Maximum Security, 287 p. Simon and Schuster

MS-OPTIONAL, HS-ADVISABLE

13 year old James Adams is tapped for a highly dangerous mission – entering a maximum security prison for juvenile offenders as an inmate and cuddling up to the only son of a major weapons dealer. CHERUB can not protect James once he is inside – not from the factions within the inmate groups, and not from guards who might be out for revenge.

 A much grittier CHERUB novel than the previous two. References to make body parts, a very graphic body cavity search scene, and violent fights elevate the maturity of this novel. Think hard before you put it in the middle school.
