About the Author:
“I wish I had better parents!” Barry said, a third time.
And then suddenly the entire room started Barry Bennett hates being named Barry. It’s number 2 on the list of reasons he can’t stand his parents, along with 1) they’re boring and 6) they’re REALLY, REALLY, REALLY strict.
Five days before his tenth birthday, Barry decides he’s had enough. He makes a wish . . . and is transported to a world where parents don’t just have children. Instead, kids get to choose their parents.
For Barry, this seems like a dream come true. But choosing the perfect parents isn’t quite that simple. . . .
