Perfect for fans of Pamela Butchart and David Baddiel’s Birthday Boy a hilarious tale of wish fulfilment gone wrong that every child will relate to

Tom can’t wait for his LUCKY BIRTHDAY. It’s an EPIC family tradition and he’s dreamed up an UNFORGETTABLE party!

Only, after several disasters involving a flattened chihuahua and a curse from the tooth fairy, it’s been CANCELLED.

But Tom won’t give up. With the help of his friends (and a pig painted like a zebra), Tom decides to throw himself the party he deserves.

What could possibly go wrong?

Had me laughing out loud more than once and kids will love it too. An absolute hoot. * Booktrust *
Humour-galore! If you want something to make you laugh this summer, read this book! * The Book Activist *
· Full of whacky humour plus lively illustrations * Parents In Touch *
This cautionary tale will make children yelp in agreement and roll around with laughter, but ultimately leave them appreciating their brother or sister a little bit more. They won’t need any encouragement to read it either. With a simple and engaging style of writing, and plenty of twists and turns in the plot, readers will be hooked from page one. A great story with a likeable lead character and some important lessons * BookTrust on I SWAPPED MY BROTHER ON THE INTERNET *
