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

Skryf Review
Excellent Book
Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic’ follows our lively and young protagonist Tom. This time the novel centres mostly around his school excursion or “School Activity Trip” which, because he is so forgetful, our dear Tom almost misses out on. It was a nice little novel that readers will laugh at many times. Some of the most annoying characters return in this novel such as the despicable and arrogant Marcus and the face-pulling new girl-next-door.
