Tom Gates: Everything’s Amazing (Sort Of) Kindle Edition

by L. Pichon (Author, Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition

Middle-school comedian, homework dodger, rock-star wannabe, master doodler—Tom Gates is back with two more episodes full of visual humor and kid appeal.


Things are looking up for Tom Gates. The school dance is coming up, and his birthday, too! What could possibly put him in a bad mood? Well, the words math lesson, for one thing. And that annoying twit Marcus Meldrew at school. And Granny Mavis threatening to bake Tom’s birthday cake (carrots!). And the fact that nobody seems to be noticing the long list of birthday presents Tom has prominently displayed. Worst of all, can it be true that Tom’s dad has volunteered to deejay the school dance wearing the wacky costume from his new job?

Review

Praise for Tom Gates:

Winner, Waterstones Children's Book Prize, 2012

Winner, Red House Children's Book Award, 2012

Winner, Roald Dahl Funny Book Prize, 2011

"If you loved Wimpy Kid you'll love this!" ―Educate Magazine

"It's easy to see why Pichon, who illustrates and writes children's books, won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize . . . Pichon's books are bursting with humour . . . all the elements of wit and cartoon and lettering come together in Tom Gates." ―The London Telegraph

"The physical text is almost as interesting as Tom's pictures as the font changes to better illustrate the stories that Tom tells… a great book for reluctant readers. While girls will also enjoy this story, the pranks and ideas of Tom will be particularly appealing to boys. If readers have enjoyed the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series, the "Tom Gates" series will likely be a success with them as well." ―CM: Canadian Review of Materials

8 year old daughter loves the Tom Gates books - a big hit. The Tom Gates books are good clean, intelligent, fun. Great art and funny. I don't like the Dork Diaries or books like that. I don't think they set a very high bar, or good example.
