From the million-copy bestselling author of THE PARENT AGENCY and BIRTHDAY BOY comes a wildly entertaining wish-fulfilment adventure that asks the question: what would happen if the strictest head teacher swapped bodies with the naughtiest kid in school?
Strictest head ÷ naughtiest boy = chaos. Bracket Wood is about to be visited by the school inspectors. But there’s one big problem: Ryan Ward. The maestro of practical jokes, Ryan has played so many tricks that in the end the Head Teacher just walks out. And then the new Head Teacher, Mr Carter, arrives. A man so strict even the teachers are scared of him. So imagine his surprise – and Ryan’s – when they swap bodies. Now Ryan is Head Teacher – and his mortal enemy is one of his pupils. It’s every naughty kid’s dream! But soon Bracket Wood School is in a total mess – and only its worst ever pupil can fix it…Reviews

This book was good because I liked when Mr carter and Ryan swapped bodies the school changed. But then OFFHEAD came and said they had one week to change the school otherwise the school would shut down. My favorite character was Ryan in Mr Carter's body because when he first became a head teacher he was messing around but then OFFHEAD came and Ryan had to make the school a better place. I would recommend this to someone who likes adventure

It is a funny book with a character named Ryan Ward who has a funny personality and does lots of parks in Bracket Wood School. Unfortunately a new headteacher comes and he is mean and scary and he hates pranks and pranksters. I would recommend this book to children who like funny and mysterious-ish kind of books

A solid 5 - I loved it! I liked how the characters switched bodies so that Ryan was in charge. He made some really fun changes to the school menu. I want to read more David Baddiel books. I would recommend this book.

Once again for me, it was a reread and it's always different every time you read so you can't really lose interest in David Baddel's books. It's interesting seeing what a kid would do in a head teacher's body, my favourite bit was when Ryan orders all that pizza.

I liked it because there’s a really strict headteacher at first and a naughty kid called Ryan Ward and the two switch bodies. My favourite bit was when the headteacher kept saying, ‘Be cool, Ryan!’ Also when it was teacher vs kids, playing baseball, Mr Carter ended up sitting in his pants.

Head kid is a very good and entertaining book. My favourite character is the boy who became the head teacher at the school. I would really recommend this book to anyone who likes being entertained.
