The Switch, By Anthony Horowitz

If you were filthy rich and every day was like Christmas would you be happy?  Well, this is the life of Tad Spencer.  He's spoilt and lives a life of luxury.  However, Tad's life is empty and miserable.  Some say you should be careful what you wish for.  The following morning Tad Spencer awakens to find he's in different clothes, he smells and his surroundings are a total tip! There’s mouldy food lying around the kitchen and dirty dishes in the oven! He thinks surely this must be a dream? Could it get any worse?

This is a great story to start the year off with. The story unravels at a nice pace with a subtle twist at the end. Room 5 enjoyed The Switch being read to them. There’s some other great comical characters like the Snarby's, the devious Finn and Tad's self-centered parents.

  1. I liked The Switch because what happens in it is something you do not hear about every day. The Switch is such an awesome story, it’s so hard to put down. My favourite part is when Tad Spencer wakes up and he is in a different home and a different room. The Switch is a book that most people would love to read. By Sarah

  2. The Switch is about a spoiled rich fat boy who is turned into another person after saying something wrong. My favourite part is when Tad is in the mirror maze with the hostage. My least favourite part is when Tad gets taken to ACID and gets tested. By Tim
