Young Bond is a series of five young adult spy novels by Charlie Higson featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent James Bond as a young teenage boy attending school at Eton College in the 1930s. The series was originally planned to include only five novels; however, after the release of the fifth novel, a second series was considered by Higson as a possibility.
Since the release of the first novel SilverFin in 2005, the series has become very successful and has led to further works including games, a graphic novel and even a supplemental travel guide. The last book, By Royal Command, was published in September 2008.
English-language versions of the books are published by Puffin Books in the United Kingdom and Hyperion Books For Children in the United States.
