Average rating
The second title in the bestselling series from the brilliantly talented Liz Pichon. No school for two whole weeks! (Yeah!) I can forget ALL about lessons (and irritating things like Marcus Meldrew). And concentrate on good stuff like: Inventing new ways to annoy my sister Delia. (So many). Band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek). Watching TV and eating caramel wafers. Eating caramel wafers and watching TV. Excellent. Unfortunately a couple of small problems called the dentist and my big weirdo sister, Delia, seem to be getting in the way of my BRILLIANT plans . . . ABOUT THE SERIES: Written in diary form Full of Tom’s doodles and pictures & his amazing sense of humour The Brilliant World of Tom Gates, was the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize! Perfect gifts for boys & girls who love to laugh themselves silly The first series of The Brilliant World of Tom Gates won the Scottish BAFTA for Entertainment! Love Tom Gates? Don’t miss Liz Pichon’s spectacular Shoe Wars, a laugh-out-loud, gadget-packed adventure!

I would definitely recommend this book for anyone that likes reading but finds it difficult to read big chunky books in 1 go. It is enjoyable, full of mischievousness and once you get into it it is hard to get out!

I liked it because it seemed like a poem but it was 6-13 words per line, however it was nice. There was a boy name Tom Gates( like the author) and he had an obnoxious sister that liked to prank him. Well that's all
Professor Rapper Spaghetti-Hoops 28.10.2024

I enjoyed this book because Tom received gold stars but Marcus Meldrew cheated because he brought in his own pack of gold star stickers.
