Chronology of the CHERUB and Henderson's Boys series

The Chronology of the CHERUB and Henderson’s Boys series is a timeline of the events in the CHERUB and Henderson's Boys series by Robert Muchamore. Most of events that the timeline describes are purely fictional, although some, such as the beginning the second world war, are true. The series centers on CHERUB, a division of MI5, which consists entirely of children.

Most of the information comes from a timeline which is found at the back of every book in the CHERUB series.
