About the book
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 Breakfast Club Adventures series.
About the author
Isaac Hamilton McKenzie is one of the co-authors of the Breakfast Club Adventures with Marcus Rashford. He was also a part of the part of the writing team who created the Future Hero series for Storymix, the award-winning inclusive children’s fiction studio. Seeing very few heroes that looked like him on the bookshelves of his local bookshop, Isaac wanted to do his part to change this. Jamaal Target: PHANTOM Agent is his solo debut. Isaac was born and raised in north-west London. He currently splits his time between writing and working in a secondary school as a TA, where he sees first-hand the drop-off in reading for pleasure.

The Story-Makers Show was known as Puffin Virtually Live up until March 2019. The content and ambition of the show remains the same: to give every pupil the opportunity to engage with authors and illustrators in their own classroom using the power of the internet.
We’ve re-named Puffin Virtually Live so that it’s easier for new teachers to discover it as part of Puffin Schools and to acknowledge that the show now premieres on show day, rather than being streamed live.
