Jamaal Target: PHANTOM Agent: The new fast-paced action-adventure series with a superhero twist!

WATERSTONES CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE MONTH for September 2026!

Alex Rider meets Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse in this fast-paced, action-packed middle-grade series about a ‘normal’ boy who discovers he has superpowers and is destined to join an elite yet secret organisation.

There’s nothing special about Jamaal Target. He’s your average twelve-year-old boy who lives with his foster mum and likes to game with his best friend Myla. Until one day, everything changes . . .

When Myla is kidnapped in front of his eyes, Jamaal is pulled into a web of secrets and lies and the shadowy organisation known as PHANTOM. There he learns that he has inherited super strength, speed and heightened senses from the parents he never knew.

Forced to quickly put his new skills to the test, Jamaal finds himself on high-stakes missions across London, alongside teen PHANTOM Agent Lori Johnson. But does he have what it takes to save his best friend and put the bad guys away?

A brand-new action-adventure with a superhero twist written by a co-author of Marcus Rashford's The Breakfast Club Adventures series.
