by Terence Blacker Danny Bell isn’t happy with his family - his mother is busy with her new life as a real estate agent, a life that doesn’t involve her old family. His dad is an aging musician who hasn’t left the house in years. Then a ParentSwap notice ends up in Danny’s backpack - offering kids the choice of a whole new family. Danny decides to go for it, but things don’t quite work out like he would expect. Everything seems a little too planned, too directed, too watched? It’s up to Danny to try his hand at a little directing of his own, and in the process see if he can’t fix his old family - at least a little. The story is particularly timely with today’s reality TV obsessed world. I really enjoyed the little "interview" sidebars with all the people in Danny’s life and the unique insights they offer to the story. I also enjoyed seeing a quiet, dreamy kid portrayed as interesting and clever. The plot is fast-paced and offers plenty of twists. Definitely fun with a few very nice moments. |
