Plot{{Infobox CHERUB mission/Man vs Beast|James' sixth mission}}The book starts with a 14-year-old boy called Andy Pierce witnessing his mother, Christine, getting assaulted by two masked men who are working for the Animal Freedom Militia. The book then skips to Kerry being annoyed by her boyfriend, James. James goes into his room and he is met by his sister Lauren. She asks him to help her and her best friend Bethany to sneak into the basic training compound to give Bethany's brother, Jake, and Lauren's crush, Rat, some food. James refuses but Lauren blackmails him by threatening to tell Kerry about him cheating on her during a mission a year before. James joins the girls on the mission to get the food to the trainees. All goes fine but Mac watches them on the back up CCTV and they get caught. James is not punished for being blackmailed and he, Lauren and Kyle are sent on a mission to bring down the AFM (Animal Freedom Militia). Lauren is stuck with the ex-con while he meets up with his old animal rights protest group. They get invited to rescue dozens of dogs from the compound which were supposed to be sold onto the testing company. All goes well in the rescue, but the rescuers were overwhelmed because many more dogs were rescued than they thought. This chapter ends with Lauren saving a puppy from getting run over by Zara's car. They end up keeping the dog in the chairwoman's house. Lauren always visits the puppy, who was called Meatball (due to Lauren being a vegetarian). James and Kyle successfully infiltrate the AFA (Animal Freedom Army), another movement within the AFM. In the AFA's televised show, where they lock a TV chef in a cage, feeding him cleansing chemicals through a tube, the CHERUB agents safely drive the TV chef, who was very close to death, to a hospital, and the AFA, and even members of the AFM, are arrested. In their urgency to leave, Lauren had to take Meatball with her, when pets were not allowed on CHERUB campus. They solve this issue by letting Meatball stay at Zara Asker's bungalow. On the mission Lauren becomes a vegetarian and at the end when CHERUB agents fly to the summer hostel for a holiday, James puts meat in her bag on the plane to annoy her. Zara Asker becomes chairwoman succeeding Dr. McAfferty who retires.[1] ReceptionThe book has been thoroughly recommended by The Sunday Telegraph.{{Citation needed|date=April 2007}} References1. ^{{cite book |last=Muchamore|first=Robert|authorlink=Robert Muchamore| title=Man vs Beast | series=CHERUB | volume=6 | year=2006 | publisher=Hodder & Stoughton | isbn=978-0-340-91169-3|authormask=2}} {{Portal |Children's literature}}{{CHERUB}} 3 : CHERUB novels|2006 British novels|Hodder & Stoughton books |
