Allen Zadoff Books FAQ

The Wild & Chance Series

I read Boy Nobody. Will I like Wild & Chance?
I think you'll love it! Wild & Chance is a middle grade series, appropriate for ages 10 and up. But if you're older and you liked Boy Nobody/The Unknown Assassin, you will not be disappointed.

When can I read the book?
You can read Book 1 now, and Book 2 will be released on May 18, 2021 but you can preorder.

I don't live in the U.S. Can I read it in my country?
I hope so. We're currently working on publishing contracts around the world, and we'll announce them as they're finalized. If you're an international publisher, please get in touch.

Will there be another book in the series?
Yes! Wild and Chance 2: The Puppy War is coming May 2021.

Wait, is the cover changing? I saw a different looking cover online.
It's true! I have a new publisher and a new look for the series. The Wild & Chance paperback will have an amazing new cover designed by Vivienne To. It will match the cover for Book 2, Wild & Chance: The Puppy War.

Will the books be a movie or a TV series?
Hey, slow down. You haven't even read them!

Will you help me with my homework?
That would be cheating, wouldn't it?

Boy Nobody/The Unknown Assassin

Boy Nobody becomes the Unknown Assassin.
Just as Boy Nobody changes identities with each mission, the series has changed identities as well.  In the U.S., the series is known as THE UNKNOWN ASSASSIN, and the first book, originally published as Boy Nobody, is now called I AM THE WEAPON.

​Why did the name change?
​The first book received starred reviews and has been sold in more than a dozen countries. Readers fell in love with the non-stop action and suspense. But with new stories in the works and new audiences yet to discover the series, my publisher and I went on our own mission. I was tasked with creating a new identity for my hero. They followed with new art and a new approach for bringing the book to a larger audience. After  a lot of work and a few superhuman deadlines, the results are the books you see here.

​What if I'm not in the U.S.?
​In your country, the book might be called Boy Nobody or something else. This is because international publishers reserve the right to name the book with a title that will make sense (and be exciting) to local readers. In England the book was called "The Hit", in France if was called "The Program, Target 1", and in Argentina it was called "Yo Soy el Arma".

​Which assassin book should I buy?
If you're new to the series, start with Book 1,  I AM THE WEAPON.
If you've already read Boy Nobody, it's time for Book 2, I AM THE MISSION.
The series concludes with Book 3, I AM THE TRAITOR.

​Will you do my homework?
I already told you that's cheating. :-)
