Summer, 1944. As Allied soldiers prepare to land in France, Marc and his friends must destroy a battalion of German tanks that could halt the invasion in its tracks. The tide of war has turned against the Nazis, but desperation has made them more brutal than ever.
Henderson's Boys' final mission will be their most dangerous. With food and weapons in short supply, survival is the biggest challenge of all.
'It has the feel of something quite big and satisfying... Muchamore's voice is fresh and direct.' - Daily Telegraph
Muchamore's plain, punchy, often funny style ... is highly effective... This clever, tense novel is a great way of getting bored boys interested in history. - Amanda Craig, The Times
This book was un-put-downable. It gripped me from start to finish, and was just as good as the CHERUB series, if not better! - Aaron, 14, First News
'Gripping and compelling' - Carousel
One of the World Book Day 2014 Authors & Guest Editor in Feb 2010
With sales of over 15 million copies and a number one bestseller in eight countries worldwide, creator of CHERUB, Robert Muchamore, is an exceptional author for young adults and pre-teens. He knows what makes his audience tick – and his adrenaline-fuelled, urban genre of writing keeps boys reading for pleasure at the crucial time when reading can drop off. His thrilling adventure stories tap directly into the key interests of his audience and have created a fanatical fanbase. The Robin Hood series has wide appeal to reluctant readers and the younger end of the CHERUB market, aged 10+, with short chapters and witty, pacey writing.
