Instead, she just tells Alfie to do what he likes. And thatās when things start to go weird.Does everything get hilariously out of control? Yes.Does Alfie learns a valuable lesson? Nah. This isnāt that kind of storyā¦
The Parent Agency
A brilliantly funny, gripping novel - and the bestselling hardback childrenās debut of 2014 - from a born storyteller, The Parent Agency is an epic wish-fulfilment adventure for every child ā and for the child in everyone.āI wish I had better parents!ā Barry said, a third time. And then suddenly the entire room started to shakeā¦Barry Bennett hates being called Barry. In fact itās number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with 1) ābeing boringā and 3) āalways being tiredā.But there is a world, not far from this one, where parents donāt have children. Thatās 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 simpleā¦Illustrated by Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner, Jim Field.
The Person Controller
From the author of THE PARENT AGENCY comes a thrilling, funny and touching new adventure.Fred and Ellie are twins. But not identical (because that's impossible for a boy and a girl). They do like all the same things, though. Especially video games. Which they are very good at. They aren't that good, however, at much else ā like, for example, football, or dealing with the school bullies.Then, they meet the Mystery Man, who sends them a video game controller, which doesn't look like any other controller they've ever seen. And it doesn't control any of their usual games. When the twins find out what it does control, though, it seems like the answer to all their problems. And the key to all their wildest dreams. At least it seems like thatā¦
