In a nutshell: very funny, very true story of family dynamics
Be careful what you wish for, and blood is thicker than water – both lessons to be learned from this very funny story of sibling rivalry and love. Jonny is fed up with big brother Ted’s teasing, and website www.siblingswap.com seems to offer a way out. In just a few clicks Jonny’s arranged to swap Ted for a more suitable brother (though with hindsight he should probably have ticked the boxes ‘living’ and ‘human’).
Overnight Ted has gone, and a new brother is on the doorstep. To Jonny’s surprise, none of the brothers he receives match up to Ted, and some are downright dreadful. It’s great fun, the succession of brothers keeps the action moving at top-speed, as Jonny gradually realises how much he’s missing Ted.
Illustrations by Nathan Reed add to the fun, and this is a great read for anyone with a sibling.
One to recommend to fans of My Brother is a Superhero by David Solomons and The Parent Agency by David Baddiel. ~ Andrea Reece
`I can get a new brother? On the internet?' Jonny muttered. `Oh sweet mangoes of heaven!'

What could be better than someone awesome to replace Ted, Jonny's obnoxious older brother.
Read the full description
But finding the perfect brother isn't easy, as Jonny discovers when Sibling Swap sends him a line of increasingly bizarre replacements: first a merboy, then a brother raised by meerkats, and then the ghost of Henry the Eighth! What's coming next?! Suddenly old Ted isn't looking so bad.
But can Jonny ever get him back? A hilarious tale of wish fulfilment gone wrong that every child will relate to - perfect for fans of Pamela Butchart, My Brother is a Superhero and David Baddiel's The Parent Agency.
