YACHERUB series.
Recruited into CHERUB, a secret division of British Intelligence made up of adolescent spies, James successfully completes his training and tackles his first mission, infiltrating a commune that is planning to release anthrax. The narrative tends to explain thoughts and motivations rather than letting James's actions speak for themselves, but its fast pace and teen-spy action will grab readers' attention.
