Tad Spencer lives a life of luxury: a mansion, servants, exotic vacations, and all the toys he could dream of. The Switch book by Anthony Horowitz was an interesting book because it tells us about a 13 year old boy named Thomas Arnold David Spencer (or Tad Spencer) who lived in a fancy mansion, with everything he had and wanting to go anywhere for the summer until the night he wishes that he was somebody else.

The Switch by Anthony Horowitz | Waterstones

Anthony Horowitz has been writing since the age of eight, and professionally since the age of twenty. Every four years, two children, one regarded as particularly nice and the other particularly nasty, are snatched from the village of Gavaldon by the shadowy School Master to attend the divided titular school.

Going to bed as wealthy Tad and waking up as the poor and criminally inclined Bob is a shock to him but he does a better job of blending in than Bob does as Tad. It's not long before he senses that there's something wrong with his guardian - and with the whole village.Suddenly Alex finds himself in the middle of a war that seems to be somehow connected to Ark Angel, a revolutionary. I thought it would be your regular "Freaky Friday" body-swap thing with the pathetic rich kid having to learn how to live without his precious wealth. The parents are painted as heartless and cruel to a degree that belies belief, but cannot be said to be completely untrue or impossible an occurrence in the real world.

Anthony has written over 50 books, including the bestselling Alex Rider teen spy series, which is estimated to have sold 21 million copies worldwide and has been filmed for TV, and the thrilling fantasy-adventure series, The Power of Five.For a long minute the two boys stared at each other; Bob Snarby in Tad’s body and Tad Spencer in Bob’s body. Spinning an action-packed story, Horowitz also slyly tosses in some pretty deep questions about life. When editor Susan Ryeland is given the tattered manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has little idea it will change her life. A simple enough plot that is complicated by the intelligence of one of the boys participating (unwittingly) in the exchange.
