"I Am the Weapon" by Allen Zadoff follows the story of a teenage assassin known only as Boy Nobody. Trained to be a perfect killer, he infiltrates various students' lives at high schools across the country, carrying out missions that involve eliminating targeted individuals. However, as he takes on a new identity and targets a seemingly innocent classmate, he begins to struggle with his conscience and the moral implications of his actions. The line between right and wrong blurs, leading to an intense exploration of identity, loyalty, and the cost of violence in a life orchestrated by shadows.
