Order of Allen Zadoff Books

Allen Zadoff is a Boston native whose journey has taken him from Manhattan and upstate New York to Tokyo and Los Angeles, where he currently resides. He holds degrees from both Cornell University and Harvard University Institute for Advanced Theater Training, and brings his background as a former stage director to his writing career.

Zadoff has penned multiple acclaimed novels and earned recognition with the Sid Fleischman Humor Award along with a YALSA Popular Paperback for Young Adults honor. His breakout series opener "I Am The Weapon" (originally titled "Boy Nobody"), featuring a teenage assassin protagonist, caught Hollywood's attention and has been optioned for film adaptation by Sony Pictures and Overbrook Entertainment.

When not crafting his own novels for Egmont-USA, Zadoff teaches writing in Los Angeles. He claims to be training as a super spy, though this remains unconfirmed.
