The switch - what kind of a title is that? It can mean many things, for example: a story about a light switch, a story about a kidnapping case whereby the kidnapper switches the hostage for ransom money etc. That was what I thought before I read this book.
Once again I blog about a book by Anthony Horowitz, one of the best writers in history. Right, now back to the story. The book is actually about a rich boy, Tad Spencer, who wishes to be someone else. Guess what? His wish comes true! But it swiftly turns into a nightmare. He had switched bodies with a boy who lived with his not-too-good parents in a caravan! All his luxury had gone as he was no longer rich.
As he explores the perilous new world of his new host body, his fate soon became entwined with the murderous Finn, himself (the person who was now in his body) and his own parents (from his previous body). Find out how Tad discovers a dangerous truth and how everything is resolved in the end in this story spun by Horowitz.
Every tale has its own moral. In this book, we can see that wishing for something extra when we already have so much is never good. Also, how everything we know about someone or something is just a web of lies and deception.
Do read this book. It is really a good read.
