Parent Swap by Terence Blacker

I’d once thought of writing a book about two families who swapped kids, so when I saw the title of this book, I thought, “Old Slow Joe, missed the boat.” However, that’s not what this book is about, so you never know…any editors out there like that idea? Okay, I digress. This is a great read. It’s British YA, although it might pass for MG. It’s got a really great hook (premise) and I liked how well developed all the characters are. It keeps you guessing and makes you want to keep reading, which is always good. If you have a boy in your household who tends to be a reluctant reader, because this book’s got the bonus of having a male protagonist, it would be a good one to pass his way. I’d definitely look for more books by this author.
