      Inventing new ways to annoy my sister Delia. (So many). 


      Band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek). 


      Watching TV and eating caramel wafers.

      and my big weirdo sister, Delia, seem to be getting in the way
      of my BRILLIANT plans . . .

      . . . Marcus Meldrew.


      Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours
      while I'm away.

      TIPS FOR BEING TOP OF THE CLASS 
      (Sadly...I did NONE of these things.) 


      1. Stay awake in lessons (it helps.) 


      2. Don't draw HILARIOUS pictures of your teachers. 



      3. AVOID the class bully to stay out of trouble. 



      4. Don't let Mum and Dad write ANYTHING in your school planner.
      


      5. Don't let your grumpy sister Delia BOSS you around. (Technically
      not a school issue - but still important.) 


      I'm TRYING to get voted onto the school council as well -
      but thanks to the ABOVE list it's not exactly going to plan.

Tom Gates: Spectacular School Trip (Really.)

<pre> 


      The top-of-the-class, extra special 21st book from bestselling
      author and illustrator Liz Pichon.
      A feel-good, laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story!



      The Tom Gates series is by multi-million selling writer and illustrator
      Liz Pichon. Q: Who wants their FIVE STAR funny story
      included in Oakfield School's story book?
      A: EVERYONE!
      But what will Tom write about? Inspiration strikes when he
      looks at his excellent collection of ODD OBJECTS and remembers the
      funny stories behind each one. Starting with Great Great Aunt Aggie's
      fake bird hat, the weird stone with a hole and his very special
      doodle pen. Marcus wants to
      write about Tom (which is annoying), Amy's got a funny poem and Norman's
      story is all about... cheese.
      But Mr Fullerman can only choose the FIVE STAR STORIES - will Tom
      get his work in on time?
      And will Granddad read Tom's story and find out what REALLY happened
      to Aunt Aggie's hat? (Spoiler alert - probably)

Tom Gates: Five Star Stories

<pre> 


      The top-of-the-class, extra special 20th book from multi-million
      copy selling author and illustrator Liz Pichon.

      A feel-good, laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story!



      It's TIDY UP Saturday, but Tom is VERY busy relaxing and not helping
      out much.


      Until he spots the art box of his dreams in a shop window and
      everything changes. He's suddenly focused on earning extra pocket
      money and helping with


      EVERYTHING.
      But nothing quite goes to plan. Washing and shrinking Delia's
      clothes isn't a good start. And the hours spent carefully cleaning
      cars with Derek are ruined overnight when a storm hits Oakfield
      Town, causing even MORE chaos.


      At this rate it's going to take a MILLION years for Tom to get
      the art box of his dreams...


      or will it?

Tom Gates 20: Happy to Help (eventually) PB

<pre> 


      The top-of-the-class, extra special bestseller from multi-million
      copy selling author and illustrator Liz Pichon - now
      in paperback.
      A laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story!


      Oh no! 
      Tom's stuck at home with a fractured ankle and it's spoiling his
      fun.


      Doodling on his plaster cast helps to pass the time, along with
      visits from family (with treats), friends and even Rooster managing
      to sneak in.


      Tom remembers other fun times he's had, like metal detecting with
      Uncle Kevin and the cousins or inventing a new secret language
      with Derek.


      But only ONE thing will cheer Tom up:
      a caramel doughnut from the new bakery...


      trouble is, every other kid in town keeps getting there before
      him!
