Head Kid
David Baddiel, Steven Lenton
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

I like all the friendship and care this book shows. It was a bit confusing at the start but I soon got used to the Ryan, Mr Carter mix up. I found the same book on audio so I listened and read at the same time.

I think it is hilarious the fact that the two complete opposite types of people swap bodies and how David Baddiel shows that in his own writing and I loved Steven Lenton's drawings because they really bring the story alive. I liked Ryan the best because he is the typical rebel kid and to see him in the body of a very strict teacher was really funny. I would recommend this book to my friends.

It is about the new, strict headteacher who swaps bodies with the naughtiest boy in school. Then the school inspectors come. Can they save the school? So they decide to have a debate against oakcraft school. At the end of the debate 5 people get covered in cake mix stew. The head teacher and naughtiest kid return to there normal bodies. I rate this 4 out of 5 because it was funny.
