'After Peter Parker, Miles Morales and Alex Rider comes . . . Jamaal Target. Undeniably pacey and thrilling!' The Times 
 
There’s nothing special about Jamaal Target. He’s an average twelve-year-old boy trying to balance school, friends and . . . training with PHANTOM – the secret government organisation that protects humankind from evil. OK, maybe he's a little bit special. 
 
So when Jamaal witnesses the impossible while out on a school trip – a mysterious criminal melting into thin air – it doesn't take long before he's pulled into the investigation. There he discovers a company hiding a terrifying secret, one that involves stolen identities and clones of the rich and famous, including those who have recently died in mysterious circumstances. 
 
With countless lives at stake, Jamaal must use his newly discovered superpowers, fighting prowess and quick thinking to stop the clones from taking over the world, even ones that look just like him . . .
