The Switch

By Anthony Horowitz

A boy's casual wish leads him into a dark and mysterious world in this thrilling adventure from the creator of Alex Rider.

For Tad Spencer, only son of a fabulously wealthy businessman, every day is like Christmas. Until he makes the mistake of wishing he was someone else. The next morning he wakes up as Bob Snarby, trapped in a cruel and squalid funfair world. But Tad discovers he's there for a reason...

  • "A formidably well-written adventure story... Horowitz joins a bleak but brilliant new school of children's writing which is best described as fantastical realism." The Independent
