The Parent Agency

When Barry makes a wish before his tenth birthday to have different parents, he is transported to a world where children get to choose their parents, but he finds the search for the perfect parents isn't quite that simple.
Tiring of his strict and boring parents, Barry is unexpectedly whisked away to an alternate world where kids can select their perfect parents, an option that proves to be more complicated than he imagines. Simultaneous eBook. 25,000 first printing.

Barry Bennett was always very upset at being called Barry. It was a stupid name for  a modern nine (nearly ten) year-old boy. All his friends were called things like jake and Lukas and Taj

In fact, they weren't called things like that , they were called exactly that . jake was his best friend , Lukas was his second best and Taj was his third. Although sometimes that order  was reversed and Taj was first. But  either way none of them were called anything like barry. barry didn't even know anyone called anything like Barry. he didn't know, for example , anyone called brian . Or Colin . Or  Derek. Or any other name that no boy  had been called since 1953

being called Barry was just one -although it was pretty near the top of the list - of the many things Barry blamed his parents (Susan and Geoff : go figure...) for.

here, in fact , is that list, which Barry kept hidden under the pillow on his bed (a bed that didn't , by  the way, have the fantastic Lionel Messi duvet on it that Lukas had)

"I WISH I HAD BETTER PARENTS!" Barry said, a third time. And then suddenly the entire room started to shake...

Barry Bennett hates being called Barry. in fact it's number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for , after number 1 : being boring.

But there is a world where parents don't just  have children . that's far too random. Instead, 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 simple...

A brilliantly funny , gripping novel, The Parent Agency is an epic wish-fulfilment adventure for every child -and for the  child in everyone.
