Barry wishes for better parents and gets his wish in the wildest possible way, twins Fred and Ellie discover a gadget that controls people instead of games, and animal-hating Malcolm wakes up to find he's turned into a hamster. Packed with silly situations, big feelings and even bigger laughs, this trio of stories is perfect for young readers who love funny, fast-paced fiction with real heart underneath the jokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Baddiel has built a reputation as one of the funniest storytellers writing for children today, and this three-book set showcases exactly why. In \u003cem\u003eThe Parent Agency\u003c\/em\u003e, Barry Bennett is fed up with his boring, tired parents — so when he's whisked away to a world where children choose their own mum and dad, he thinks all his problems are solved. Of course, nothing goes quite to plan, and Barry learns that \"better\" parents aren't always what they seem. In \u003cem\u003eThe Person Controller\u003c\/em\u003e, twins Fred and Ellie are brilliant at video games but hopeless at almost everything else, from football to fending off school bullies — until they get their hands on a device that lets them control real people just like characters in a game. And in \u003cem\u003eAniMalcolm\u003c\/em\u003e, animal-hating Malcolm finds himself living every pet-lover's dream and his own worst nightmare when a wish goes hilariously wrong. Each story is told with Baddiel's trademark wit and genuine understanding of what makes children tick, blending big laughs with touching moments about family and friendship. Sold together, they make a perfect gift for existing fans and a great introduction for newcomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree complete, full-length novels in one value-packed paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by bestselling comedian and author David Baddiel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for reluctant readers thanks to fast pacing and big laughs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores family, friendship and identity through comic storytelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift idea for children aged 8 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback condition, ready to read straight away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Baddiel is a British comedian, broadcaster, columnist and bestselling author, well known for his stand-up comedy and television work as well as his writing for both adults and children.
