Jimmy Coates: Target [Paperback] Craig, Joe

**Jimmy Coates: Target** throws you headfirst into a world where being eleven years old and genetically engineered to be the perfect assassin creates some seriously awkward problems. Joe Craig delivers a pulse-pounding thriller that's part spy adventure, part coming-of-age chaos, as Jimmy discovers he's programmed to kill but desperately wants to stay human.

This action-packed young adult thriller explores identity, free will, and what happens when your own government wants you dead. Perfect for reluctant readers aged 9-14 who devour Alex Rider books and crave fast-paced adventures with genuine heart. Craig, a former advertising executive turned children's author, knows exactly how to hook young readers with relentless pacing and authentic teen dialogue.
