While a few nice messages are wrapped up in this tale, the book centers around one thing—silly fun. Tom is pretty normal for his age, and his mind wanders everywhere but in the responsible direction. He's a nice guy and simply tries to get through the chaos called life as best he can, which makes him easy to relate to. The situations he runs into come from daily life and reflect those which average kids will face. And while all of it seems dramatic at times, it's Tom's very honest, uncensored thoughts, which make it a hilarious read. No, she’s still not looking. Marcus says he’s got five merits as well. “Great,” I say. “We’re like twins now,” says Marcus. (He’s so annoying.) I show Mom and Dad my story because I think they’ll be pleased with me (for a change). 30 Marlowe, Sam (2023-06-28). "Review: Tom Gates at Richmond Theatre". ISSN 0140-0460.
