1. I am currently reading The Sleepwalker by Robert Muchamore. I am at the part in the story when the two agents Lauren and Jason are on a mission to try and unravel a terrorist organization by tracking these two suspected terrorists named Asif and Fahim. This book is about a boy named James who is 15 years old and his sister Lauren who is 12 years old. The two of them are Cherub agents working to bring down one of the most powerful and ruthless gang in England. The two agents have infiltrated the two suspected gang leaders and have become friends and are trying to learn as much as possible about them. they have also bugged the apartment meaning they set up recording devices and cameras. Also they have at least 3 agents at all times from MI5 watching them to see what they can find out. The two agents are in the care of a senior agent named Mac who feeds them and try's to keep them safe throughout the mission.

2. I feel like the author is giving lots of detail to keep me interested. I am familiar with the author and I have read his books before so I am familiar with his writing style so it isn't a big surprise when I started to read this book. He has provided me with lots of details about all the characters in the book even though I know who they are he makes it so that you would know who they are even if you have never read one of them before. The book has kept me interested the whole time even from the begging when we met a new character through all the traveling and up until now.

3. A theme in this book is adventure. I chose adventure because they are always on some kind of an adventure whether they are just traveling to new place or if they are on a cherub mission. Adventure is recurring theme because James and Lauren continue to go on adventures throughout the book to place all across the world or even to an adventure right across the street in a gangs hideout.

4. My favorite character is James. He is my favorite character because he is smart, strong, adventures, and talented at many things. Throughout the book he keeps every one level minded and hope full even in the darkest times. He is one the best Cherub agents and has a black t-shirt representing many successful missions.

5. My least favorite character is probably Hassin because he is one of the leaders of the gang. The reason that he is my least favorite and Asif isn't is because the agents are thinking that maybe he is the one involved and Asif isn't. He also has a very bad attitude all the time and is just a mean person to be near.

6. My prediction is that they both will be the gangs leaders but the two agents will get caught and tortured for info on what the government knows. I also think that when there seems no escape that mac will come in and save them along with another group of agents. The reason I think this is because that is normally how most of his stories go and that's how it went in the Alex Rider series that I read right before this series so it seems like a plausible idea.
