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.

This book is about Tom dreaming about being a school councillor and he is making a big speech in front of everyone. Then he dreams about having a soft comfortable chair and then his teacher wakes him up.

I thought Tom will be top of the class and there will be a vote for top of the class. I thought this book is great fun and that funny picture that Tom drew was an amazing experience to try and be a spy and get the book which the drawing is in with a good distraction from Norman and it was amazing to hear that Tom became the school counsellor like any happy ending. I liked Tom Gates the best. I would recommend this to all my friends.

The book is about tips for staying or being the top of the class. The boys tries to be good in class and does many things to act in a good way but he is only pretending. It is a funny book with lots of pictures. I live these type of books as they have pictures. I would get my friends to read this. It is cool.
