'This book has the usual creative mix of fun writing and brilliant drawings'
For those of you who don't know Tom Gates, he is a boy in Year 5 at Oakfield School who loves doodling and carrying out fun experiments.
This is the fourth book in the Tom Gates series and I think it is the funniest. It tells us about Tom's life leading up to and including the school talent show which he enters with his band Dogzombies.
Tom suffers, jokes and doodles his way through lots of hilarious situations; like getting a comb stuck in his hair during the show, struggling through sports day, a disastrous BBQ with his crazy uncle and cousins and of course getting his own back on his annoying class mate Marcus!
As for Tom's sister Delia, she finally takes off her ever-present sunglasses and accidentally dyes her hair green!
I loved this book! it made me laugh out and is full of good, original ideas, especially ways to get out of trouble at school! I wish I could be Tom Gates because it would be really good fun being in talent shows, playing electric guitars and not having to learn your times tables until Year 5.
This book has the usual creative mix of fun writing and brilliant drawings. In the corner of every page is a doodle of a bug, which is actually a mini flip book - which I think is a 'genius idea!'
I would highly recommend this book to anyone 7 years +
