Man vs Beast is the sixth book in an excellent series by Robert Muchamore. The series centers around James and Lauren Adams who were plucked from a foster home when their mother died, and began their training at the CHERUB facility, a base for training kids to be super spies, as adults don't suspect kids would spy on them. Similarly to the Alex Rider books, the children in it seem to be too perfect and amazing at everything, but all books need ...
...like many real teenagers would. Man vs Beast focuses on a CHERUB mission where Lauren, James and Kyle infiltrate and combat an Animal extremist group. This immediately raises a morality questions, on whether this groups actions are right, or whether there is a more peaceful method for achieving the same aim. With constant action and excitement on every page, this is a great book for anyone aged 10-18 to read, and this promises to be a very exciting ... Read review

Advantages: appeals to adults and children
Disadvantages: nothign

...Gervais goes on to list more flanimals in other families such as the Sprot Oggler and the Sprot Mungler. As with 'Flanimals' he gives a small account of the purpose of their completely pointless lives. Paragraphs are riddled with Gervais' humour, and at points some bizarre arguments with the reader, or himself (I'm not quite sure). All pages in this chapter are illustrated with Flanimals, with exception of the last page. The last page is slightly ...
...The last page goes into more biological areas such as DNA. However, it is still bursting with Gervais' personality and such entertain most people!! Flanimal Evolution: This is a very short chapter which shows diagrams of the flanimals which evolved from other flanimals. There is little text on these pages and the brightly coloured pictures may appeal to younger children. This chapter also shows some 'fossil evidence' and a large flanimal family ... Read review
