Excellent Excuses (And Other Good Stuff)
Liz Pichon
This takes the form of Tom’s battered homework diary – crammed with his doodles and stories. ""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. Band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek)…""

It is amazingly funny and I love when Tom tries to catch cheating Marcus red-handed but bumps into Mr. Keen and then Mr. Fullerman. Then one of the parents asks him what he likes best about this school and he replies, "The Gold Star Award Chart." Then he tells them all about it while he leads them into the classroom (where Marcus is) to show them about it.

I found the book really interesting and funny. Toms teacher Mr Fullerman gets a lot of mentions for his beady eyes which makes me laugh. I think all of the doddles are absolutely incredible. This book is for everyone, anyone who likes awesome drawings and funny characters.

It was really funny and the pictures were hilarious. I liked the pictures of Marcus Meldrew and at the end when he showed us his favourite biscuits and his awards.
