The Escape

Robert Muchamore

Action/Adventure

Charles Henderson is a British spy and is finding a young group of boys that could win the war against Germany and Hitler. Mark escaped from an orphanage in france.

 

My favourite part is when Mark steals a pair of boots from the orphanage and gets chased by the oldest kid in the orphanage, climbs out a window and the oldest kid gets trapped in the window and mark closed the window on his head and glass went everywhere.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes action and adventure.

This was an exceptional book in my opinion. If you like war books than this is a book you should consider reading as it is set in 1941, the year Hitler and his army invaded France. One reason why this book is better than other fictional war bookks is that it keeps to the real timeline of the war and how they did it. Robert Muchamore basically just added some characters into the amist of all the chaos. this book tells the story of Marc Kiligour, a boy who has lived in an orphanage his whole life has to decide wether to run away from the orpganage as hitler's army approaches or stay there and wait for the Nazi's two arrive. in another part of france rosie and her brother have just been pulledd out of school for no aparent reason by their father who seems to be in a huge rush to get out of the country. tehy go to their apartment to pick up some clothes and food but they are stopped by a german secret agent who asks for the mysterious papers. the family desperately tries to get out and ends up killing the secret agent dies and this is just the start of the story of marc and rosie and her brother.....

want to know what happens next ............Read the book and find out

The Escape by Robert muchamore is a great book for people who love adventure. One thing in the book that i liked was the way it keeps you hooked and not wanting to put the book down. This is the blurb; Summer, 1940. Hitler s army is advancing towards Paris, and millions of French civilians are on the run. Amidst the chaos, two British children are being hunted by German agents. British spy Charles Henderson tries to reach them first, but he can only do it with the help of a twelve-year-old French orphan. The British secret service is about to discover that kids working undercover will help to win the war. Its is a fast paced book with alot of adventure and i would recomend this book to a friend.
