Robert Muchamore
Robert Kilgore Muchamore (born 26 December 1972) is an English author of young adult fiction. He's best known for his CHERUB, Henderson's Boys and Rock War series. **Early life** Robert Kilgore Muchamore was born in Tufnell Park, London, on 26 December 1972, and is the youngest of four children; his father was a milkman and his mother a cleaning lady. Muchamore grew up in Tufnell Park and attended St. Johns Upper Holloway and Acland Burghley School, leaving with a D in A-Level Economics and aspired to be either an architect, photographer or writer. His first job was at an heir hunters firm called Fraser & Fraser. Muchamore started writing the CHERUB novels because his nephew Jared, who lived in Australia, could not find any novels that he liked reading. He tried to write novels that he would have enjoyed reading when he was an adolescent, a time when he remembers being too old for children's novels but not old enough to read adult novels. The CHERUB series follows the life of a character named James Adams (formerly James Choke) and his younger half-sister Lauren Adams (formerly Lauren Onions), a member of CHERUB (Charles Henderson's Espionage Research Unit B), a top-secret branch of the British Secret Service. The organisation recruits orphaned children and trains them as spies. Once qualified, they are used to investigate targets ranging from international terrorists to gang leaders. As children, they are considered innocent by their targets.
