The Great Switcheroonie - Education Edition (Education ed)

Hodder Literature: an exciting series of literature titles for Key Stage 3 for whole class use.

Bill Harris could not be more different from Benny Spinks, the son of a famous footballer and his pop singer wife.

Bill knows nothing about football, is never picked for teams and on one occasion scores 6 own goals in a 7-0 defeat.

Then, one day, a freak hair-drying incident turns Bill into a Benny Spinks double.

Bill is offered look-alike work and so comes to meet Benny.

The boys like one another instantly and hatch a plan to swap lives for a day.

Confusion follows when both Bill and Benny are kidnapped by rival gangs.

However, the boys manage to trick the kidnappers (through a cunning plan involving peanut butter) and each returns to his own life, having learnt something very important about himself. >
