The Parent Agency

4.11 (2,903 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): David Baddiel

Illustrated by: Jim Field

A brilliantly funny, gripping novel - and the bestselling hardback childrens debut of 2014 - from a born storyteller, The Parent Agency is an epic wish-fulfilment adventure for every child and for the child in everyone.

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 its number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with 1) being boring and 3) always being tired.

But there is a world, not far from this one, where parents dont have children. Thats 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

Illustrated by Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner, Jim Field.
