age 12+ Teen spy series gets off to rousing start. Parents need to know The Recruit: CHERUB, Book 1 is the first volume in a series of thrillers about children trained to be international spies. Swearing and crude language are part of the story. Bullies call James a "retard" and a "faggot." Other potentially objectionable words, such as "s--t" and "arsehole," are employed a few times each.
