Not My Parents! by S Weeks
Guy is convinced that the man and woman with whom he has lived all his life cannot possibly be his parents. They are too weird! Would anyone else's mother tie-dye every pair of underwear in the house? Would anyone else's father perform the famous oyster trick (don't ask) in a restaurant? No. Except perhaps Bob-o's... Could the nice, normal parents of the school's strangest kid be Guy's real family?
.. the writing and characterisation in this highly entertaining short novel make it a far from ordinary read. * Michael Thorn, TES Teacher *
Guy's wry observations of goofy adult behaviour and his sarcastic exchanges keep the laughs coming. The first-person narrative remains breezy while deftly and subtly charting Guy's continuing adjustment to the sobering issues of parental divorce, remarriage, and blending families. * The Horn Book *
