PARENT SWAP by Terence Blacker
With Alex Rider's STORMBREAKER, the movie, opening this weekend (I have not seen it yet), I began to wonder what other Young Adult titles should be made into movies. I really did not have to go far the book I was reading would make a great movie.
Is your"... Mum and Dad driving your crazy? Call ParentSwap today!" that is exactly what Danny Bell, 13, is going to do. Danny's home life is not exactly ideal; his Dad, an ex-rocker, never leaves the house or the couch; his sister is always fighting with him; his younger brother spends all his time with video games; and his Mum, she has left home for a career in real estate.
ParentSwap is a secret London agency to help kids find the parents they deserve. Danny's life is transformed. Out are the misfits, In are the perfect parents or are they? There are cameras in all the rooms of his new home and ParentSwap know everything he is doing. Danny begins to wonder if there is something fishy about this whole service.
IF YOU ARE IN GRADES 6 TO 9, PICK UP PARENT SWAP.
Do you have any books that should be a movie?
