Product Information

Like the 90s films North (Elijah Wood), Barry decides that he has rubbish parents and wishes he had different ones. For example, Meta ( META), formerly Facebook, acquired Instagram to increase overall user engagement and strengthen its own platform, while Instagram benefits from having an additional platform on which to advertise and more users. He decided to miss out Numbers 8 and 9 - ‘Not being glamorous’ and ‘Being poor’ - since even in his rage he knew that they might just sound a bit too horrible out loud, especially as loud as he was speaking now.

So, he tries rich, famous, fit and not strict parents, as well as some were he is the favourite child. The Parent Agency is a children's fiction novel written by David Baddiel and illustrated by Jim Field. A brilliantly funny, gripping novel – and the bestselling hardback children’s debut of 2014 – from a born storyteller, The Parent Agency is an epic wish-fulfilment adventure for every child – and for the child in everyone.

Barry goes on his journey to find the best family he can, meeting a menagerie of weird and wonderful parents in this bizarre place who manage to take the mickey out of rich people, celebrity couples, hippies and fitness fanatics. But it tries too hard for its laughs and features a young hero so unsympathetic to begin with that it’s hard to care what happens to him after that.
