The Parent Agency is a children's fiction novel written by David Baddiel and illustrated by Jim Field.

The book follows a 9-year-old boy named Barry Bennett, who gets transported to an alternate universe where children choose their parents.

Baddiel was inspired to write the book after a conversation with his nine-year-old son, Ezra.

The Parent Agency received positive praise from editorials such as The Guardian[5] and HuffPost UK,[6] while The Independent critiqued it, saying that '[Baddiel] just tries too hard to be funny'.
