There's Mr Keen's unicycle mishap and their NEW supply teacher Miss Jam (whose first name is NOT Strawberry or Traffic - but it should be). Class 5F LOVE Miss Jam's lessons. Mr Fullerman, not so much. BUT... when Tom's comic falls into the wrong hands, everything starts to go wrong. HOW will he get himself out of this MESS? How will he make everyone laugh again? Will Marcus help him out? Hmmm ... maybe.

Its really cold outside and were hoping its going to snow. Yeah! Derek and I could make a snow Rooster and have a snowball fight (look out, Delia!). Granny Mavis has started to knit me a new winter jumper but by the looks of things Im not sure its going to fit

Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an 'Activity Break'! Which should be fun. As long as I don't get stuck in a group with anyone who snores, or worse still with... Marcus Meldrew.

No school for two whole weeks! (Yeah!) I can concentrate on good stuff like: band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek). Watching TV and eating caramel wafers. Excellent. Unfortunately a couple of small problems called the dentist and my big weirdo sister, Delia, seem to be getting in the way of my BRILLIANT plans...

Warning: Do not attempt to read this in public. You will snigger loudly. When my teacher Mr Fullerman doesn't have his BEADY EYES on me, I like to draw pictures and write stories about stuff, like when we had the worst holiday ever (camping sucks) and when my parents came to school for parents' evening (groan). And about how Marcus Meldrew is the most annoying boy in the world and how I don't want to sit next to him in class. All I want to do is get tickets to see the best band everDUDE3when they come to town. It's not easy when I'm up against Delia, my weirdo big sister, and all my plans seem to get me into MAJOR TROUBLE... again.

The second title in the bestsellingseries from the brilliantly talented Liz Pichon. 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. (So many). Band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek). Watching TV and eating caramel wafers. Eating caramel wafers and watching TV. Excellent. Unfortunately a couple of small problems called the dentist and my big weirdo sister, Delia, seem to be getting in the way of my BRILLIANT plans . . .

This book is VERY important because it contains BISCUITS, BANDS and all my (doodled) plans to make Dog Zombies the BEST band in the world.

The brand new hilarious and fully-illustrated instalment of the bestselling Tom Gates series! Having two sets of grandparents is turning out to be very good for me. The Wrinklies are keen on giving presents AND they're planning a family outing which is going to be EPIC! Even Delia wants to come. (I can always ignore her.)

DogZombies are the best band in the whole world (for now). Tom has a four-point plan to make his band, DogZombies, the best band in the world: 1. Write more songs. (Not about teachers) 2. Make a SPECTACULAR music video. (Easy) 3. Get some sleep. (Tricky when you're being kept awake by LOUD NOISES) 4. Annoy Delia. (Nothing to do with DOGZOMBIES but always FUN.) What could go wrong? Meanwhile, Tom's friend Mark Clump needs someone to look after one of his pets while his family is moving house. Tom can't wait. He's always wanted a pet. And Tom is thrilled to be caring for Marble the hamster instead of a snake, a spider or a skunk. But little Marble keeps everyone up all night with her squeaky wheel, which makes everyone, especially Delia, extra grumpy.
