Summary

No school for two whole weeks leaves Tom with heaps of time for the important things in life。 Yeah！ He can forget all about lessons and the irritating Marcus Meldrew， and save his energy for good stuff！ Stuff like: inventing new ways to annoy his sister Delia。 （So many）。 Band practice for the Dogzombies – rock stars in the making！ Watching TV and eating caramel wafers; eating caramel wafers and watching TV。 Excellent！ But clouds are gathering on the horizon in the form of Tom’s weirdo big sister Delia。 And when trouble collides with his brilliant plans， he’ll need all his excellent excuses。。。 Crammed with scribbles， doodles， stories and sniggers， this hysterical journal brings you more manic mayhem from the crazy world of Tom Gates。 HA HA HA！

From the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize， the Best Book for Younger Readers - Red House Children’s Book Award and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 5 - 12 year-olds category comes the second amazing instalment of this brilliant series。 The other titles in this series are: THE BRILLIANT WORLD OF TOM GATES （9781407120690）; TOM GATES: EVERYTHING’S AMAZING （SORT OF） （9781407124414）; TOM GATES: GENIUS IDEAS （MOSTLY） （9781407134505）。 This again takes the form of Tom’s battered homework diary - crammed with his scribbles and stories and is totally accessible for boys and girls and reluctant readers。 Honest， silly， and laugh-out-loud funny， Tom Gates is a superb voice for children of 9+。

Claire Harvey ，

I really enjoyed this book because I love how the author writes everything like when she writes Amy it is in big handwriting and Tom loves caramel wafers， so do I and he tricks Delia。 But most of all I love it because it is funny。

Namita Das ，

I enjoyed reading this book so much that I cant wait for my son to grow up and read it too。 It's the story of Tom and his friend Derek， who during the school vacation have come up with their music band。 There are a lot of other things happening along with their first band play gig。 Absolutely loved the doodles that are designed between the lines。 Quite entertaining。 I enjoyed reading this book so much that I cant wait for my son to grow up and read it too。 It's the story of Tom and his friend Derek， who during the school vacation have come up with their music band。 There are a lot of other things happening along with their first band play gig。 Absolutely loved the doodles that are designed between the lines。 Quite entertaining。 。。。more

Eva ，

This book was funny but I couldn’t connect with Tom that good。 I just couldn’t understand why he would do such things to his sister。 I also couldn’t always understand his reactions。

Maya ，

Esta é o diário de um rapaz que só se mete em sarilhos tendo sempre uma vida agitada mas muito divertida。Dores de dentes， irmãs aborrecidas e bandas da escola。 Descobre mais lendo o livro。

James Biser ，

This is another story about the 5th grader， Tom Gates。 He is a funny young man always interested in pestering his sister and being with his friends。 He is in a band and always enjoys being with his band mates and other friends。 Also， as he has a talent for art， he often wastes time by imagining and drawing。

Hanna Sballil ，

Wauw echt een leuk boek maar ook met veel tekeningen

Chris ，

This one was just ok for me。 I didn't find it exciting or even funny， expect of 1-2 events。 It reminded me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and that's the main reason I went ahead and read it， but it didn't hit the mark。 This one was just ok for me。 I didn't find it exciting or even funny， expect of 1-2 events。 It reminded me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and that's the main reason I went ahead and read it， but it didn't hit the mark。 。。。more
