Boy nobody

Boy Nobody
Boy nobody by Allen Zandoff
Mystery/ Thriller/ spy-ish
YA , NO ROMANCE INCLUDED
Four Starz ****

So you know how your browsing the library and come up with a random book like, "Oh? I think I'mm read this one." thats how it was with boy nobody....
It was an OK book, keeping you on the edge of your seat. It was a fast-paced read, written so you go through chapters like you eat an apple (meaning really fast), and it was all- in- all, something interesting.
But i do have a few nit-pics. And you roll your eyes. Yea. I know.
There could have been one in three ways to end this book. And the author chose it so that there will be a second book. Thats not a problem.
But I did find it interesting that the author made the main character think that whatever he was doing was supposed to be...a good thing. And with that good thing came a price in which he will pay for later.

Summary-
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.
