Jo Simmons writes funny children's fiction about school, family and ridiculous situations that spiral beyond control. I Swapped My Brother on the Internet follows a boy who tries to trade his annoying sibling online and receives increasingly strange replacements, while The Dodo Made Me Do It and other books use similarly absurd premises to create fast comic adventures. Her writing relies on short chapters, strong jokes and escalating mishaps rather than complex fantasy world-building. Simmons's prose is lively, silly and accessible. Her work fits middle-grade comedy, family humour, school-age adventure and reluctant-reader-friendly fiction. Read more Less
