Walk through any major metropolis around the globe and it is likely that you will come across an image of Che Guevara - the Korda image of Che, that is, the face of "Guerrillero Heroico" tilted up towards some vision of the future, with his beret, tangle of locks and intense, soulful gaze that crosses cultures and time.

The terrorist doesn`t know that a kid has bugged every room in her house, cloned the hard drive on her PC, and copied all the numbers in her phone book. The kid works for CHERUB. CHERUB is not James Bond. There are no master criminals or high-tech gadgets. CHERUB kids live in the real world. They slip under adult radar and get information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail. For official purposes, these children do not exist.
