  Hodder Literature: an exciting series of literature titles for Key Stage 3 for whole class use. Bill Harris could not be more different from Benny Spinks, the son of a famous footballer and his pop singer wife. Bill knows nothing about football, is never picked for teams and on one occasion scores 6 own goals in a 7-0 defeat. Then, one day, a freak hair-drying incident turns Bill into a Benny Spinks double. Bill is offered look-alike work and so comes to meet Benny. The boys like one another instantly and hatch a plan to swap lives for a day. Confusion follows when both Bill and Benny are kidnapped by rival gangs. However, the boys manage to trick the kidnappers (through a cunning plan involving peanut butter) and each returns to his own life, having learnt something very important about himself. >

  Bill is bored with his ordinary life and Benny is tired of being in the spotlight - so why don't they just switch lives for one day? Anything's got to be better than Bill's boring life...right?

  But maybe being a world famous footballer's son isn't all that it's cracked up to be. One thing's for sure, Bill definitely picked the wrong day to be Benny Spinks.
