I Am the Weapon / Allen Zadoff / 337 pages / 7 Swans a Swimming Challenge

The Unknown Assassin Book 1
Zach Abram, Boy Nobody, is a teenager (16), so people often underestimate him.  "It's good to be underestimated.  It's what's known as a tactical advantage."  One he uses frequently in his assassin role for The Program.  The Program tells him one thing, but his memories tell him another.  "It's enough to make all [his] memories suspect, to make the past a mystery from which [he] cannot escape."  His current assignment is to assassinate the mayor of New York City.  He in embedded in a prestigious high school which is attended by the mayor's daughter.  He makes a play for Samara, a popular, beautiful girl with a tragic past and secrets of her own.  This assignment is like no other.  This teen spy novel will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Read it in one time block if at all possible.  Great focus on friendship, family, bullying, patriotism, etc.
