Book Review

The Parent Agency by David Baddiel

Barry Bennett hates being called Barry. In fact it's number two on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with number one - 'being boring' and three - 'always being tired'.

But there is a world, not far from this one, where parents don't have children. That's far too random for something so big and important.

In this world, children are allowed to choose their parents. For Barry Bennett, this world seems like a dream come true. Only things turn out to be not quite that simple! This really enjoyable book makes you laugh out loud and is suitable for children aged 10-12+. Have your children added it to their next order and collect list?
