The Brilliant World of Tom Gates

Tom Gates is the master of excuses for late homework: dog attacks, spilt water, lightning.. Tom’s exercise book is full of his doodles, cartoons and thoughts, as well as comments from his long-suffering teacher, Mr Fullerton. After gaining five merits for his CAMPING SUCKS holiday story, Tom’s work starts to go downhill, which is a pity, as he’s desperate to impress Amy Porter, who sits next to him…

Excellent Excuses (And Other Good Stuff)

No school for two whole weeks! (Yeah!) I can forget ALL about lessons (and irritating things like Marcus Mel drew). And concentrate on good stuff like: inventing new ways to annoy my sister Delia. (So many). Band practice for DOG ZOMBIES (with my mate Derek). Watching TV and eating caramel wafers. Eating caramel wafers and watching TV. Excellent. Unfortunately a couple of small problems

Everything’s Amazing (sort of)

Back to school, but it’s not all bad. We’re entering Rooster in a dog show, the School Disco and my birthday are coming up so this term’s going to be amazing! Mostly because Delia’s not invited any of these. There’s only one small problem with my birthday, Granny Mavis says she’s going to cook . . . uh oh!

Genius Ideas (Mostly)

Seeing Delia without her sunglasses on is a BIG shock for Tom, but that’s nothing compared to the surprise that Dad has in store with his new-found fitness regime! He says he’s going to compete at the school Sports Day. Can you even imagine the horrendous shame that will bring? Meanwhile Tom, Derek and Norman are also busy with a training regime of their own - practising with Dog zombies to make sure they’re ready for the school talent show. The highs and lows of Tom’s life are funnier and more extreme than ever in this fourth wicked diary from the Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning series!

Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (At Some Things)

This takes the form of Tom’s battered homework diary - crammed with his doodles and stories. ‘‘Exciting News! Mr Fuller man announces that class 5F are going on an ‘Activity Break’! Which should be fun. As long as I don’t get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse still with . . . . . Marcus Mel drew. Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours while I’m away. Which is annoying. I just hope the only surprise I have when I get home is the new pet that I hear Mum and Dad talking about. Because I’ve always wanted a pet!’’

Extra Special Treats ( . . . not)

It’s really cold outside and we’re all hoping it’s going to snow. Yeah! Derek and I could make a snow Rooster and have a snowball fight (look out, Delia!). Granny Mavis has started to knit me a new winter jumper, but by the looks of things I’m not sure it’s going to fit. . .

Tom Gates A Tiny Bit Lucky

It’s not luck. It’s genius. And now it’s in paperback. Doodles, disasters and silly laughs from the Roald Dahl Funny Prize victor. The Dog zombies need some SERIOUS band practice. Why? The battle of the bands is coming up. Tom, Derek and Norman are going to conquer the world… Tom’s crazy seventh diary is daft as a brush and funnier than a very silly lolcat. Would we sell our brains for it? YEAH!

Tom Gates Yes No (Maybe..)

The laugh-out-loud Tom Gates is back in another brilliant installment of Liz Pichon’s bestselling illustrated series. Sometimes making up my mind isn’t easy to do. Especially when my grumpy sister Delia is LOOMING over me. Mum’s on a mission to TIDY UP the whole house. She says if I can’t decide what to get rid of, she’ll do it for me. Which would be a DISASTER! Lucky for me, The FOSSILS come to my rescue (more than once!)
