by Michael Lawrence

Jiggy is horrified to hear that his parents have signed him up for a reality TV show called Kid Swap. He is to move in with another family and everything he does will be filmed. Sadly, most of what he does while the camera is pointing his way is not the kind of thing he wants to share with millions of total strangers. And then, on top of it all, there's his bizarre skin problem! Find out how Jiggy copes with TV fame and flick the pages for a disgusting dinner!

Utter Garbage. One of the worst things I've ever read.

1. Dated badly. First chapter has a sex change joke.
2. Cool idea. If this wasn't book 10 in series with no indication on the cover. Also terrible execution.
3. A 23 year old women sexually manipulates a 13 yr old boy (no physical, still a abuse of power)s. This is stopped by him being disgusted by her age.
4. There is no plot. There should be a plot. There is a obvious one. But the Lawerence goes out his way to be dumb. There is a chapter where an Elf shows up and has no part of anything. Maybe it was meant to be commentary, but doesn't work.
5. The only comedy came from how badly written and ill-conceived this book is. Frankly, its embarrassing that a man in his 60s wrote this. But also tells a lot.
I wrote a review on my blog because my little brother's English Teacher thinks that Amazon trustworthy place for Book Reviews.

Picked this book up at my school library while I was bored and randomly going through the shelves. The title caught my eye, and the first few pages were funny, so I kept on reading. Just a really fun and easy read for me between all the heavy-themed novels and craziness post-exams. Jiggy is one funny kid. Got me laughing to myself several times. Boy, I feel like a kid again.
