Boy Nobody

by Allen Zadoff

Publication Date: June 11th 2013

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 his own parents died of not-so-natural causes at the age of eleven, Boy Nobody 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. (via Goodreads)

I've always been amazed of what assassins do. Okay, I know it's bad enough to kill someone. But to read something about it is such a guilty pleasure, isn't it? And this definitely reminds me of Celaena from the Throne of Glass. I'm curious as to how Boy Nobody will kick ass as an assassin.
