I really loved this book and my favourite part is when Tom sings 'Delia's a weirdo' with the little kids. However, one thing that I noticed that was different from the other 'Tom Gates' books is the way that Delia and Derek are drawn.

Tom and his class go on a school trip to an Egyptian museum, go to a 'Dude 3' concert and decide that Tom's band will be called 'Dog Zombies'

This was very funny, I loved how Tom made up a song about his sister Delia and generally annoys her. I think the characters are really good. I would recommend this to my friends. The doodles are really funny too.
