Agent Z information


Agent Z is a fictitious character in a series of four comical children's books written by British author Mark Haddon, better known for his 2003 novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. In the first published versions of the books Haddon also did the artwork for the covers and a number of illustrations inside (the cover pictures were changed for later editions). The Agent Z series is set in the present day in an unnamed British city.[1]

  • Agent Z Meets the Masked Crusader (1993)
  • Agent Z Goes Wild (1994)
  • Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars (1995)
  • Agent Z and the Killer Bananas (2001)

Agent Z is not an actual living person in the books but a 'front' used by three schoolboys, Ben, Barney and Jenks, who have been friends for years, and who also call themselves the Crane Grove Crew. The mission of Agent Z is to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting and the deserving in a battle against boredom. The missions take the form of practical jokes, and with the culprits usually leaving a Z mark (like Zorro) on the scene of the prank. The Crane Grove Crew have their own secret base in a boarded-up, derelict park-keeper's cottage on the edge of the park near where they live. With a few exceptions that emerge in the stories, no-one knows of the identity of Agent Z, and the boys say they have made a pledge of secrecy never to reveal the identity of Agent Z.

In 1996 Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars was adapted for television by the BBC.

  1. ^ The exact town in which the stories are set is never specified. However, in Agent Z Meets the Masked Crusader it is mentioned that the school had played a football match against another school from Grimstead. In England there are East Grimstead and West Grimstead (small villages in Wiltshire) and an East Grinstead (a fairly large town) but no Grimstead.
