Product description
Tom Gates is a master of excuses, expert doodler, comic story writer extraordinaire – and the bane of his grumpy teacher, Mr Fullerman. And in his hilariously wacky journal, you’ll find all sorts of comic craziness to make you groan with glee! Tom’s battered homework diary is crammed with scribbles and stories, cartoons and jokes – as well as hilariously acerbic comments from the long-suffering Mr Fullerman. Don’t miss this first book in a fantastic new series from Smarties Award winner Liz Pichon, the brilliantly talented creator of My Big Brother, Boris. Honest, silly and laugh-out-loud funny, Tom Gates is a superb new voice for boys of 9 and up.

on 9 November 2015This book is really funny and shows how Tom Gates just about gets through some of his problems. This first book is like a beginners guide to everything that Tom likes and dislikes from caramel wafers to Marcus Mildrew. I love Liz Pichon’s way of writing at the illustrations suite exactly what things look like as well. I would recommend this book to ages 7yrs – 14yrs.

on 29 September 2014I loved the book since I have seen the cover of it. I was stunned and developed a lot interest in reading since I starting reading this book. I would love it if the author Liz Pichon would write more series on this book, I always read Tom gates. It is even so, interesting that when I have finished the book I want to read it all over again.
Thank you for this amazing, and stunning book which has helped me to understand that reading is important,

on 25 September 2014This book is really cool at the start but when you finish it, you really don’t want to leave it!
My favrouite charrector is probabally Marcus beacause he said to Tom and Tom’s best friend Derek “You should call your band the TOTAL losers!!”
I vote it 10/10
I also like it because he draws on it!

on 14 June 2014I like the style of how this book is written for example Amy potter is wrote really bold so it stands out because tom likes her. He likes her because she’s smart and he like to sit next to her so he can copy her work to get all of his answers write. I’ve read at least 4 or 5 tom gates book I love them that much!!! I loved it when Delia’s hair turned green and she didn’t want to leave her room or play with her friends!!!!!! When it was the fossils 60th anniversary and they had a picture taken which turned out wrong so tom’s dad changed and made it look like everyone was smiling especially Delia. Without telling anybody he sent the wrong picture to the fossils and luckily they loved it. That’s what I loved in one of the tom gates book as well as the doodles. A really good idea in one of the books to make a little flick book of a bug dancing in the corner of the page.

on 26 March 2014In this book they said a word like sweets (wafers) and they put a picture of the wafers next to the words. This makes it much more interesting and fun to read. The story was quite funny too.

on 17 November 2013This is such a cool book. Tom is a very naughty boy by not doing his homework and making up excuses. He also annoys his sister Delia and finds it fun. He loves sitting next to this girl in his class called Amy and hates the person on the other side of him marcus meldrew the most annoying boy in his class. Cant wait to read the next book :)

Book-Club-Review-Team
on 9 January 2012My favourite part was at the Dude3 concert when Tom was begging for tickets when all of a sudden Mr Fullerman, Teacher of class 5F (Tom’s Class) comes along. Up until this point Tom thought that teachers didnt have a life.
My favourite character was Granny because she made many wacky meals for Tom and his family. My least favourite character was Kevin because he was always mocking the Gates family.
I rate this book 9/10, I would love to read other Tom Gates books because they are well in the league of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which I greatly love!!!
Ben, age 11
Tom Gates his teachers do not have their eyes on him he likes to draw pictures of his sister and ways to really really annoy her. His teachers think he is really distracted and “lacks focus” even though he thinks is a bit harsh because he sometimes concentrates but only when it comes to biscuits. He discovers one of his teachers has a moustache which is very weird because it is a LADY!!!!! So in front of her and the class instead of calling her Miss Worthing he calls her Miss Worthing-tash!!!! It was so embarrassing for him!!
This is a very amusing book and should be read by everyone!!!!
I think this book is for ages : 9-11. This book is both for boys and girls.
