In 2017, Horowitz began a new series of detective novels which includes himself as a novelist enlisted by an out-of-work detective called Hawthorne to write books about the way Hawthorne solves crimes. The fictional Horowitz accompanies Hawthorne as he investigates murders committed in London and other locations. So far, starting with The Word is Murder, four of these books have appeared, with three others commissioned. Horowitz wrote many stand-alone novels in the 1990s. His 1994 novel Granny, a comedy thriller about an evil grandmother, was Horowitz's first book in three years, and it was the first of three books for an audience similar to that of Groosham Grange. The second of these was The Switch, a body swap story, first published in 1996. The third was 1997's The Devil and His Boy, which is set in the Elizabethan era and explores the rumour of Elizabeth I's secret son. Halleman, Caroline (23 July 2020).

Heals a player by 10% of the damage dealt, and lowers the enemy's Prayer points by 1 point for every 68 damage. Some of the characters in the book are described in detail but seem thrown together to have some kind of action in the book. Some kind of body count.

Horowitz began writing for television in the 1980s, contributing to the children's anthology series Dramarama, and also writing five episodes of the third season for the popular fantasy series Robin of Sherwood. He also novelised three of Carpenter's episodes as a children's book under the title Robin of Sherwood: The Hooded Man (1986).

There are a lot of body swap stories and this one is a good one. It was enjoyable from start to finish. The subplots worked well too and were not tested on animals. Purdon, Fiona (14 November 2008).

The Switch book by Anthony Horowitz was an interesting book because it tells us about a 13 year old boy named Thomas Arnold David Spencer (or Tad Spencer) who lived in a fancy mansion, with everything he had and wanting to go anywhere for the summer until the night he wishes that he was somebody else... Still, I had a hard time rating this book. It was enjoyable but honestly, there isn't a lot to it. It has the standard Leonard hallmarks and was fun but it seemed really short and wasn't one of his heavy hitters. There wasn't a lot to distinguish it from the rest of the Leonard library. In 1988, Groosham Grange was published. Its central character is a thirteen-year-old "witch", David Eliot, gifted as the seventh son of a seventh son. This book went on to win the 1989 Lancashire Children's Book of the Year Award. [23] Some similarities were made between this book and J K Rowling's newer Harry Potter series, but Horowitz did not choose to take action because of this.

My Thoughts: PS: l’ho letto in inglese (non facilissimo per l’uso abbondante di slang) perché l’unica edizione italiana, pubblicata nel 1981 nella collana del Giallo Mondadori col titolo Scambio a sorpresa, è una roba agghiacciante, ridicola, a tratti illeggibile.In 'The Switch', Tad Spencer is a spoiled brat who leads a life of luxury thanks to his father's highly successful beauty business. Instead of appreciating everything he has, he is constantly unsatisfied. One night, he goes to bed angry because his parents refused his request to go to a theme park. He wishes to be someone else, only to wake up as a completely different person.. A book begging to be read on the beach, with the sun warming the sand and salt in the air: pure escapism. Horowitz devised the 2009 ITV crime drama Collision and co-wrote the screenplay with Michael A. Walker.
