About the Books. David Baddiel has built a reputation as one of the funniest storytellers writing for children today, and this three-book set showcases exactly why. In The Parent Agency, 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 The Person Controller, 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 AniMalcolm, 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.. Three complete, full-length novels in one value-packed paperback set.
