Different Zac Power Missions
The Zac Power books come in different series, each with its own style. Some are for younger readers, and some are for older kids who love a longer adventure.
Test Drive and Spy Camp
The Test Drive and Spy Camp series are perfect for younger readers. They have bigger words and fewer pages, making them easier to read. These books are even on the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge list for years 7–8. The other Zac Power books are for years 9–13.
The Test Drive series has 16 books, written by Louise Park between 2009 and 2010. The Spy Camp series has eight books, published in 2010.
Mega, Extreme, and Ultimate Missions
The Mega Mission (2008) and Extreme Mission (2009) series are a bit different. Each of these series tells one big story spread across four books. So, you have to read all four to find out what happens! You can also find these as special "four books in one" collections. Chris Morphew wrote all eight of these books.
There's also a single, longer book called Zac Power Ultimate Mission. It's a chapter book with 264 pages, perfect for a longer read.
Special Files
The Special Files series came out in 2011. Each book in this series is special because it contains two stories from the original Zac Power series. It's like getting two adventures in one book!
