Synopses

The Brilliant World of Tom Gates

Tom is an expert at coming up with excuses, and his exercise book is packed with doodles, cartoons and thoughts, alongside comments from his teacher, Mr Fullerton. After earning merits for a holiday story, he becomes keen to keep up appearances at school, especially with Amy Porter sitting nearby.

Excellent Excuses (And Other Good Stuff)

With two weeks off school, Tom plans to focus on the “good stuff”: annoying his sister Delia, practising with his band DOG ZOMBIES, and settling into a steady routine of TV and caramel wafers. Even so, a couple of small problems threaten to get in the way.

Everything's Amazing (sort of)

Back at school, Tom has plenty to look forward to, including a dog show, the school disco and his birthday. The excitement comes with a worry, though, when Granny Mavis announces she is going to cook.

Genius Ideas (Mostly)

Tom faces a series of surprises, from seeing Delia without her sunglasses to Dad’s new fitness drive. When Dad decides to compete at the school Sports Day, Tom can already imagine the embarrassment.

Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (At Some Things)

Told through Tom’s battered homework diary, this instalment is crammed with doodles and stories. News of an “Activity Break” for class 5F sounds promising, provided Tom avoids being grouped with the wrong people.

Extra Special Treats ( . . . not)

As the cold weather sets in, Tom hopes for snow and plans winter fun with Derek, including a snow Rooster and a snowball fight. Meanwhile, Granny Mavis starts knitting him a new jumper, though Tom is not convinced it will fit.

Tom Gates Yes No (Maybe..)

Tom returns in another instalment of Liz Pichon’s bestselling illustrated series, where making decisions proves harder than it should. With Delia looming and Mum determined to tidy the whole house, everyday life becomes a fresh challenge.

Top of the Class (Nearly)

Tom sets out his own rules for surviving school, from staying awake in lessons to avoiding trouble and keeping his planner out of his parents’ hands. On top of that, he is trying to get voted onto the school council, but the plan is not going smoothly.

Tom Gates Super Good Skills Almost

The Gates family heads off on holiday, and Tom prepares for the boredom of a campsite by doing what he does best: doodling. This story also includes “doodle your own” elements, and is described as an exciting new instalment from Liz Pichon.

Tom Gates A Tiny Bit Lucky

Tom and his band aim to win the Rock Weekly Band Battle competition, but finding time to practise is not easy. With school inspectors, a new cartoon on TV, caramel wafers and a stray cat causing distractions, Tom stays busy having fun.
