Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at some things)

Product Information

She is best known for her Tom Gates series of "satirical realist comedy fiction", which has been translated into 46 languages and sold more than fourteen million copies worldwide. It follows Tom on his school trip and it really reminded me of my own school trip in Year 5 to Alton Castle (no, not Alton Towers that is a completely different thing). The first series, consisting of 20 animated episodes, was released in early 2021, featuring Catherine Tate as both Rita Gates and Granny Mavis, Mark Bonnar as Mr Fullerman, and Logan Matthews as Tom Gates. He also wants to find out where his sister, Delia, works and if he is really getting new neighbours.

Tom is like so many other tween boys that I know and his struggles with school and organization were hilarious. He forgets to enter his T-Shirt drawing in a contest (good thing his difficult sister has his back and sends it in).

At this rate it’s going to take a MILLION years for Tom to get the art box of his dreams… or will it? The latest book, Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at some things), sees Tom and his class go on an adventure holiday trip. Since Tom forgets everything, it’s not surprising that he forgot all about the trip he’s supposed to go on with class 5F.

Fullerman interrupts my drawing (I’ve turned the page over fast so he can’t see it) and hands out the first piece of work we have to do this term. Surely his mild crush Amy or his in-class doodling aren't the source of his school problems; it’s his nemesis Marcus that’s standing between Tom and rock 'n' roll greatness. He subverts the school rules, dodges bullies, evades boredom and in the third book his sister takes centre stage as she follows in Rafe’s footsteps… but not too closely! In 2016 Pichon created the "Kids' Tapestry", a children's version of the Bayeux Tapestry, featuring historical events to the mark the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. Other important characters were Tom's friend Derek, and Tom's teacher, Mr Fullerman, who has big eyes like an owl.Of course, Tom is determined to win, he comes up with an amazing design he is finally satisfied with. Children in his class include Marcus Meldrew (who sits next to and consistently annoys Tom in class), and Amy Porter (who also sits next to Tom, but whom Tom hopes to impress). Fans of Tom Gates will be pleased to hear that the latest book in the series from Liz Pichon is now available for quizzing. In 2020, Sky Kids announced that it was making The Brilliant World of Tom Gates to be available on Sky's on demand service Sky Kids in the UK and Ireland.

I went on two trips when I was a kid and we’d take ages to go to sleep because of all the LAUGHING and MIDNIGHT FEASTS! With random thoughts in the ridiculousness of every day adventure, this is a fun tale with tons of illustrations and zest.More rain was due, so Mom and Dad decided that under the circumstances (no tent or dry clothes) we should go home.
