Top of the Class- Tom Gates
by L. Pichon
Description:
From the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Best Book for Younger Readers Red House Children’s Book Award, the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 5 – 12 year olds and the Blue Peter Best Story Book Award 2013, comes the ninth amazing instalment of this brilliant series! 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.

About The Author
L. Pichon says that when she was little, she loved to draw, and her mom said she was very good at making a mess (this is still true today). She kept drawing, went to art school, became a designer and art director at Jive Records, and began to publish childrens books. After its publication in the U.K., The Brilliant World of Tom Gates won several prestigious awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstones Childrens Book Prize, and the Blue Peter Book Award. L. Pichon lives in Brighton, England, with her family.
Skryf Review
Excellent Book
Super funny story and illustrations both. Very fun to read as it has doodles almost everywhere and enriches imagination. Children can also compare their lives with Tom Gates. A brilliant series and an absolutely good read.
