A boy travels to an alternate world where kids get to choose their own parents in this zany, internationally bestselling adventure, which combines the be-careful-what-you-wish-for humor of The Chocolate Touch with the classic appeal of Roald Dahl.

Barry Bennett is sick of his parents. They&;re boring, they&;re too strict, and it&;s their fault his name is Barry. So he makes a wish for better ones&;and is whisked away to the Parent Agency, where kids get to pick out their perfect parents.

For Barry, this seems like a dream come true. But as he&;s about to discover, choosing a new mom and dad isn&;t as simple as it sounds&;

The Parent Agency is the first children&;s book by British author and comedian David Baddiel, and it includes illustrations by Roald Dahl Funny Prize&;winning artist Jim Field.
