This book is about a new supply teacher that Tom and Derek met at a shop. The teacher has a dog named Bandit and she came from Blue Coat School to OakField School. J like Tom the best because he is the funniest. I would recommend this to others.

This book was amazing because was about monsters, mystery, and a surprise in the end. As this book beings a new teacher is coming in class 5F and the children what is the new teachers name called but their teacher Mr Fullerman said I'm not sure but I can check in at break. So when it was break he found it and it was Miss Gravel. Fiction. Main characters: Tom, Dererk, Amy, Marcus My Favourite Character: Tom because he is very creative. Yes I would recommend it to someone else because at the back of the book it shows you to play a game called champ.

Tom enters a play with the theme Jack and the Beanstalk. He is a monster who pops out in different scenes and people have to find him on stage. And he entered the festival with a VIP ticket thanks to Uncle Kevin.

In this book, Tom really wants to go to a festival but he has other things in mind. Things like a sausage roll mystery, a strict teacher and the school play. I recommend this book to people who like books that are funny and exciting.

This book includes a boy and his best friend Derek going to the shops a meeting a sausage dog before going to school! His name was Bandit. His school was called Oakfield school and it has planning a school play. It is also planning a supply teacher while Mr Fullerman their teacher was out. Their play was Jack and the Beanstalk. Mysterious thing are happening as well like moving boxes stolen sausages. Tom and Derek have invented a game called what monster where you tell the opponent fries of a monster and the other guy has to draw it. A music festival is going to go on calendar Oakchella Music Festival.Tom really wants to go as well as his dad but his mom says no. Tom find out that his supply teacher is the lady that owns Bandit. The stolen sausages are Marcus Meldrew's(Tom's classmate) so his plan was to put them in a mouldy looking bag but it didn't work the stalker still took the rest of his lunch. The play was amazing.Tom got to know that his dad tried winning tickets so Tom was happy. That was his only chance as the tickets had sold out.But unluckily he has to go to his cousins house.But when he got there he was so happy because the cousins suprise was for Tom to go to the festival with them so he was sooooooo happy. Tom went back to school and found out that the missing sausages where because Bandit also went missing and ate the sausages.

this book is fiction with lots of twists and turns with lots of sub plots .My favourite charter was marcus. Without marcuse it would not be as dramatic and interesting.

I thought this book was really good. I really like Tom Gates books. I like Tom because he is a bit funny and also the narrator and does some cool drawings. I would recommend this book to people who like Diary of a wimpy kid and funny books.
