Children Collection Tom Gates Is Absolutely Fantastic (at Some Things)

What could be better (or worse) than a class trip? Tom’s about to find out in this fifth wicked diary from his award-winning series.

Since Tom forgets everything, it’s not surprising that he forgot all about the trip he’s supposed to go on with class 5F. It’s good that his family helps keep him on track (even, once in a while, his grumpy sister, Delia)! Luckily, there are loads of excellent things to do on the trip, like making rafts, eating snacks, and seeing some very weird creatures. That is, as long as Tom doesn’t get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse (looking at you, Marcus Meldrew!).

Exciting news is afoot at Oakfield School! Mr Fullerman has announced that Class 5F are going on an ‘Activity Break’. With all sorts of chaos on the cards, it should be BIG fun – as long as Tom doesn’t have to dorm with measly Marcus Meldrew! Delia is already threatening to wreck Tom’s room while he’s away and paint it in silly colours. But he’s hoping to return to a nicer surprise – the new pet that Mum and Dad are talking about. Will Tom finally get the pet he’s always longed for?

Come along for the ride on Class 5F’s school trip in the bonkers book of jokes, doodles and drawings. Hey, who says books have to be boring?
