The Parent Agency

Barry Bennett hates being called Barry. In fact, it’s 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 don’t have children. In this world, children are allowed to choose their parents. For Barry, this world seems like a dream come true. Only things turn out to be not quite that simple…

The Person Controller

Fred and Ellie are twins. They do like all the same things, especially video games. However, they aren't that good at much else. Then, they meet the Mystery Man, who sends them a unique video game controller. When the twins discover what it controls, it seems like the answer to all their problems and the key to their wildest dreams.
