Gr 9 Up—Teen assassin Boy Nobody has to prove to The Program that he isn't a liability. His mission in a brand-new location goes awry and secrets are revealed that put him at the edge of his allegiances and the truth.
Boy Nobody's new assignment from The Program: kill the leader of a training camp brainwashing teens with anti-government philosophy. The emotional scars from his last mission (Boy Nobody), growing doubts about The Program (and theirs about him), and continuing efforts to unravel his mysterious past add noticeable depth to Boy Nobody's character in this superior second installment, which ends with a humdinger cliffhanger.
