Review

Barry thinks his parents are lame. He wishes that he had a different set of parents that would treat him the way he would like and give him the things he thinks he wants. But when his wish comes true, he begins to think that maybe his parents might not be so bad after all. Barry's reaction to his parents is something that has probably crossed lots of children's minds- what if I had different parents that gave me everything I wanted? Barry gets the chance to find out in this story. However, some of the situations and references Barry comes across will be lost on the intended audience. Still, there is quite a bit of humor in here that young readers will enjoy.

Overall Book Score: good
