The Switch by Anthony Horowitz | Goodreads The Switch by Anthony Horowitz | Goodreads

Jacobi, whose readings of many of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories have been impressive, more than does justice to Horowitz’s standout pastiche, easily one of the best ever attempted.

However through his new persona he finds out information about his real parents that makes a bit of fairground scamming seem small fry indeed, and Tad begins to wonder if he ever wants to return to his former life.LoveReading4Kids exists because books change lives, and buying books through LoveReading4Kids means you get to change the lives of future generations, with 25% of the cover price donated to schools in need.

The simplest explanation of the plot would be to call it a retelling of the Prince and the Pauper plot. Only instead of physically exchanging places with each other the characters manage to perform a bit of Freaky Friday magic on themselves and teleport their souls into each other's bodies. A simple enough plot that is complicated by the intelligence of one of the boys participating (unwittingly) in the exchange. What follows the Switch is a series of plots that thrust both boys into hitherto unknown territory, which they manage to navigate relatively unscathed, at east mentally. For a long minute the two boys stared at each other; Bob Snarby in Tad’s body and Tad Spencer in Bob’s body. At last Tad spoke. urn:lcp:switch00horo:epub:ffd8b75e-e742-4c43-9821-3e94e77eed2e Extramarc University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (PZ) Foldoutcount 0 Identifier switch00horo Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t58d10f00 Isbn 9780399250620 Even though Tad started off unlikeable, he changed for the better as he spent more time in Bob's shoes (literally). The character development was well done in the sense that it was believable and gradual. In the meantime, the way their lives eventually intersected once more was interesting. Several other characters were mildly fleshed out so no one was really wholly "good" or "bad". The ending wasn't exactly expected but it was fitting for the story.

The Switch is a brilliant book. My favourite part is when he gets his body switched over because of a wishing star that turns green and he wakes up as Bob. He doesn't know where the hell he is so he trys to escape the caravan. Rain is everywhere in the run down theme park My LEAST favourite part is when they go in the mirror maze and almost get themselves KILLED. This may sound funny, but I personally screamed when it happened so I rated it 3 stars. I am glad I did. There are a lot of body swap stories and this one is a good one. It was enjoyable from start to finish. The subplots worked well too and were not tested on animals. Rich and strange (and kitted out with an eye-catching cover), but stronger in the set pieces than the internal logic.
