The switch by Anthony Horowitz

 For Tad Spencer, the only son of a fabulously wealthy businessman, every day is like Christmas. He lives in a mansion, has a maid, servants, every toy imaginable. He has it all - until the day he wishes he was someone else.

Suddenly, Tad wakes up as Bob Snarby, trapped in a filthy and corrupt carnival world inhabited by hostile ingrates, hopeless criminals, and mysterious fortune tellers. But Tad discovers he's there for a reason when he begins to untangle a secret that could reveal an enemy no one could have imagined . . .

In this sardonic swap from New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, readers will not only be entertained but reminded to be careful what they wish for - and happy for what they have.

Like me, you will probably be wondering why I read this book.

If you have read Alex Rider you will know that Anthony Horowitz is the best at sucking you into paranormal, fictitious but still entirely compelling worlds which is pretty amazing. By reading the aforementioned books I discovered that any Horowitz book is a good one.
