About
Boy Nobody Synopsis
Boy Nobody is the perennial new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks much about. He shows up in a new high school, in a new town, under a new name, makes few friends and doesn't stay long.Just long enough for someone in his new friend's family to die -- of natural causes. Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, and moves on to the next target. When Boy Nobody was just eleven, he discovered his own parents had died of not-so-natural causes. He soon found himself under the control of The Program, a shadowy government organization that uses brainwashed kids as counter-espionage operatives. But somewhere, deep inside Boy Nobody, is somebody: the boy he once was, the boy who wants normal things (like a real home, his parents back), a boy who wants out. And he just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program's next mission.

Allen Zadoff Press Reviews
A fast-paced thriller following the adventures of a brainwashed teen assassin. Children's Bookseller
Zadoff shines in this entertaining twist on the teen spy novel...hard-edged narration and twists will keep readers riveted. Publisher's Weekly
The Bourne Identity meets James Bond meets Alex Rider meets oh my god this book is so amazing my head is going to explode BOOKTALK
This book is a breath of fresh air in the young adult sector, placing the emphasis squarely on the “adult” and reminding us there is more to teen literature than sparkly vampires and love triangles. It also gives us a male character as complex as The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen.
