Tom Gates #9: Top of the Class (nearly) (re-Release)
TIPS FOR BEING TOP OF THE CLASS (Sadly...I did NONE of these things.) 1. Stay awake in lessons (it helps.) 2. Don''t draw HILARIOUS pictures of your teachers. 3. AVOID the class bully to stay out of trouble. 4. Don''t let Mum and Dad write ANYTHING in your school planner. 5. Don''t let your grumpy sister Delia BOSS you around. (Technically not a school issue-but still important.) I''m TRYING to get voted onto the school council as well-but thanks to the ABOVE list it''s not exactly going to plan.

Tom Gates, Band 15
Wieder geschehen die seltsamsten und urkomischsten Dinge: Die Klasse 5F bekommt eine sehr, sehr strenge Vertretungslehrerin, in der Stadt findet das erste Musikfestival statt und bei der Schulauführung darf Tom ein Monster spielen. Katastrophen sind also programmiert ... Darüber hinaus gibt es einige rätselhafte Dinge rund um die Schule: Marcus'' Essen wird immer aus seinem Rucksack geklaut (meist etwas mit Würstchen), der Vorratsschrank ist ein Trümmerhaufen und auf dem Spielplatz gibt es eine Kiste, die sich magisch bewegt (okay, das ist wahrscheinlich nur der Wind). Was ist da los? Spukt es in der Schule? Tom ist natürlich in Hochform und lässt keine Möglichkeit aus, seine Umwelt ins Chaos zu stürzen. Dieser Titel wird im sog. Fixed-Layout-Format angeboten und ist daher nur auf Geräten und Leseprogrammen nutzbar, die die Darstellung von Fixed-Layout-eBooks im epub- oder mobi/KF8-Format unterstützen. Wir empfehlen in jedem Fall die Darstellung auf Tablets und anderen Geräten mit Farbbildschirm.
