Urban Outlaws by Peter Jay Black is a gripping action series for readers 12+, and fans of fast-paced adventures like Alex Rider and Cherub.
Jack, Charlie, Slink, Obi and Wren are the Urban Outlaws - five quick-thinking, super-skilled kids who live to right society’s wrong. Like modern-day Robin Hoods, they steal from the rich to give to the poor, with missions meticulously planned from a bunker in London. But the gang's technical know-how gets them in too deep as they uncover secret technologies that pose serious threats. Suddenly, they are involved in high-level cyber espionage, the stakes are high and they have enemies everywhere...
