Regular Guy

A Texas Bluebonnet Award Finalist, 2000“A clever take on the search for one’s identity”– School Library Journal“Funny, fast, and a good response to the question, ‘Got anything that’ll make me laugh?’ “– Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books“A virtual chain reaction of buffoonery.”– Publishers WeeklyGuy Strang is convinced that the man and woman with whom he has lived all his life cannot possibly be who they claim to be: his parents. They’re 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 – sucking an oyster up his nose with a horrible noise and spitting it out of his mouth – in a restaurant? No. Except maybe the parents of the weirdest, most unappealing kid in Guy’s whole class, Bob-o. But Bob-o’s parents are as normal as parents come – just like Guy.Could Guy and Bob-o have been . . . switched at birth?
