Henderson Boys 1 The Escape Robert Muchamore 9780340956489 Books

I was a bit puzzled as I read a good portion of this book and had not yet met Henderson - I kept thinking, "Where is he? Isn't he a key character?"

By the time Henderson came on the scene (more than halfway through - though his name does pop up early in the book), I better understood what the author had done for the first half of the book. His careful construction of the lives and stories of siblings Rosie and Paul (children of British spy Digby Clarke), and also the parallel story of Marc (a 12-year-old who escapes from an orphanage) does a fantastic job of painting a shockingly realistic portrait of not only the children and their lives and losses during the German's mad rush forward into Paris, but also the suffering and starving French soldiers and the brutality of the German (particularly the Gestapo) officers. There are many well-detailed examples of injured and exhausted refugees, bombs devastating cafes where people drinking a cup of coffee are sometimes killed by buildings collapsing and catching fire. The author does not shy away from death or telling the truth of how awful war is.

At the same time, the creativity and spunk of the children is inspiring (I loved Paul's drawings), and when Henderson meets up with Marc and then brings the three children together with him, his clever ideas to outwit the Germans and keep himself and the children alive kept my eyes glued to the page. The children all are forced into growing up in a hurry as they learn that sometimes you have to kill in order to survive. A very powerful story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, with a somewhat painful cliff-hanger ending that will make you wish you didn't have to wait for the next book in the series.

Great book
My son really loves this series
no problems
love the books! Read CHERUBS too!
Fast paced adventure series dealing with world war 2. Children outwitting German spies in France after the German invasion.
This , The Escape, is the first in the series. Very much looking forward to reading all. One note is that has it as suitable
for age 12 and up. Some of the action involves some violent killings. I would say more suitable for older children, maybe 16 or 17
and up.
Book has arrived. Thank you!!!!
Not my favourite book for my 11 year old loves it. He's a huge fan of Alex Rider and found these as good.
