Synopsis

Robert “Hutch” Hutchinson is out of luck. His charm and singing voice—and penchant for bursting into song at all the wrong times—can’t keep him out of trouble anymore. When he’s arrested (again), he’s given a choice: die in juvie or become a shadow—the fearless, unstoppable, and top-secret guardian of a Future Important Person, or FIP. With nothing to lose, Hutch accepts. After two grueling years at the Future Affairs Training and Education (FATE) Center, Hutch, now 16, can barely remember the boy he once was. Ready for anything, he expects to be plunged into a battle zone. Instead, he learns that his FIP is someone named Ryo Enomoto: the soon-to-be front man of the boy band International. Worse, Hutch has to put his old talents to use. He must join the band and change his name to Bobby Sky. Is this for real? Has he really turned himself into a lethal killing machine … only to become a teen pop sensation?

Goodreads review by Andrea on July 23, 2018

Two stars instead of one for the book having entertaining moments, with a story that keeps moving without a dull moment. But that's where my enjoyment of the book ends. As an avid fan of k-pop boy bands I picked up the book because of the title. I was disappointed. The author skips over all the boyb......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on April 23, 2018

This book was just FUN. I'm a sucker for boy bands, so that's what pulled me in. But Hutch was a clever, flirty, devil-may-care character to read, the adventure of it all kept me turning pages, and reading it just made me feel good. I think there was a lot of unused potential in the boy band relation......more
