Product Description
When a boy swaps his dad for two goldfish he does not really think through the consequences! After all, he is not the only person who can swap stuff. When the boy is told by his mother that he has to get his father back it is not so easily done. It seems that the father has a pretty high value as he has been traded by one child to the next leaving a trail that the son has to follow. Where will it all end?

I have just purchased this book after my daughter has read Coraline in school, and was interested in Neil Gaiman books. I thought i ordered a novel, but it's more like a comic book style layout. I wish i had read the description better, or research a bit more in to what kind of book it was. So if your looking for a book for younger readers then this will be fine, but for 10 year olds and over i suggest ' The graveyard book' or 'Fragile things' which seems to be the next book on my daughters hit list.
