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. “I wish I had better parents!” Barry said, a third time. And then suddenly the entire room started to shake… Barry Bennett hates being called Barry. In fact it’s number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with 1) ‘being boring’ and 3) ‘always being tired’.
But there is a world, not far from this one, where parents don’t have children. That’s far too random for something so big and important. In this world, children are allowed to choose their parents.
For Barry Bennett, this world seems like a dream come true. Only things turn out to be not quite that simple… Illustrated by Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner, Jim Field.
但是，有一個世界，離這個世界不遠，父母沒有孩子。 對於那麼大而重要的東西來說，這太隨意了。 在這個世界上，孩子們可以選擇他們的父母。
對於巴里貝內特來說，這個世界似乎是夢想成真。 只有事情變得不那麼簡單......由Roald Dahl搞笑獎得主Jim Field說明。
