SWITCH: Crane Fly Crash Award-winning author by Ali Sparkes (author)

Josh and Danny must go on a rescue mission to save their annoying big sister, Jenny, when she accidentally uses the S.W.I.T.C.H spray on herself and turns into a crane fly!

The twins know there’s only one thing for it – they’ll have to change themselves into crane flies too, and try to keep their sister out of trouble. However risky . . .

Can the boys resist the lure of the light bulb and stop Jenny from getting legless? And will Piddle the dog be able to resist a crunchy, bugtastic snack?

Petty Potts’s diary entry: Victor Crouch’s spies could be anywhere! I keep imagining that old eyebrow-less freak staring through my windows . . .

But I suppose I do have to remember that sometimes I see and hear things which aren’t really there. That’s all part of the package when you’re a genius. I will make sure Josh and Danny keep very watchful, though.

Ah ha! Ah ha ha ha ha! Erm. Scary powerful laugh etc. (It doesn’t really work, typed out, does it?)

Ali Sparkes

Ali Sparkes is the author of lots of children’s books including the award winning Frozen in Time, and the Monster Makers, Shapeshifter and S.W.I.T.C.H. series.

She’s also a journalist and BBC broadcaster who regularly exploits her sons, as an in-house focus group for her children’s novels. She reckons it’s a fair trade for being used as a walking food and drink vending machine.

Ali was a local newspaper reporter and columnist before joining BBC Radio Solent as a producer and presenter and then chucked in the safe job to be dangerously freelance and write scripts and manuscripts. Her first venture was as a comedy columnist on Woman’s Hour and later on Home Truths.

She grew up adoring adventure stories about kids who mess about in the woods and still likes to mess about in the woods herself whenever possible. Ali lives with her husband and two sons in Southampton.
