This set includes the beloved titles in the Tom Gates universe: The Brilliant World of Tom Gates, Tom Gates: Excellent Excuses (And Other Good Stuff), Tom Gates: Everything's Amazing (sort of), Tom Gates: Genius Ideas (mostly) and Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at some things). Each book reads like a battered homework diary overflowing with doodles, cartoons, and the kind of offbeat observations that have made Liz Pichon a bestselling author in children’s fiction.

Inside each book

The Brilliant World of Tom Gates introduces Tom — a master of excuses for late homework (from dog attacks to lightning) — whose exercise book contains doodles, cartoons and commentary from the long-suffering Mr Fullerton. Tom’s attempts to impress Amy Porter and his ups-and-downs at school set the tone for the humorous series.

Tom Gates: Excellent Excuses (And Other Good Stuff) follows Tom through holiday chaos, sibling friction and band practice with DOGZOMBIES, told through the familiar diary pages filled with sketches and comic asides.

Tom Gates: Everything's Amazing (sort of) sees Tom back at school, juggling a dog show, the school disco and birthday nerves — all amid the usual family mayhem (Granny Mavis’s cooking may be the real danger).

Tom Gates: Genius Ideas (mostly) captures Tom’s home life surprises and the band’s preparations for the school Talent Show, while his dad’s fitness enthusiasm creates more comic disaster than inspiration.

Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at some things) centers on an “Activity Break” school trip, sibling sabotage and the tantalising promise of a new pet — classic Tom Gates material, illustrated across diary-style pages.
