Description:

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. But not identical (because that's impossible for a boy and a girl). They do like all the same things, especially video games. However, they aren't that good at much else – like football or dealing with school bullies. 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. At least, it seems like that…

AniMalcolm

Malcolm has a problem: his family loves animals, and their house is full of pets. What it lacks is the laptop he wanted for his birthday. The only bright spot is the Year Six school trip, which he never thought his parents would pay for. Yet there he is, on the bus, heading to… oh no. A farm. Over the next days, Malcolm learns a lot about animals, more than he would like. He learns what it’s really like to be an animal, changing how he thinks, speaks, eats, and even smells. But will he end up the same as before?

Head Kid

Bracket Wood is about to be visited by school inspectors, but there’s one big problem: Ryan Ward, the maestro of practical jokes. After so many tricks, the Head Teacher walks out, and the new Head Teacher, Mr. Carter, arrives—a man so strict even the teachers are scared of him. Imagine their surprise when Ryan and Mr. Carter swap bodies. Now Ryan is Head Teacher, and his mortal enemy is one of his pupils. It’s every naughty kid’s dream! But soon, Bracket Wood School is in total chaos, and only its worst pupil can fix it…
