From the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Red House Children's Book Award, the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the Blue Peter Best Story Book Award 2013, comes the seventh amazing instalment of Tom Gates' adventures - now in paperback! Will Tom and his band DOGZOMBIES be LUCKY enough to win the Rock Weekly Band Battle competition? They just might be if they could find time to practice! But with inspectors in the school, an amazing new cartoon on TV, caramel wafers to eat and a stray cat getting in the way, Tom's a bit too busy having FUN!

Seeing Delia without her sunglasses on is a BIG shock, but that's nothing compared with the surprise Dad has in store for me with his new found fitness regime. He says he's going to compete aty Sport's Day. Shame! Meanwhile Derek, Norman and I keep practicing in DOGZOMBIES so we're really ready for the school Talent Show.

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.

Em dic Tom Gates i m’he proposat aconseguir més ESTRELLES que ningú al quadre de punts del meu profesor, el senyor Fullerman, però no ho tinc GENS fàcil! Això és per tres motius: 1. El Marcus és un trampós que sempre em busca les pessigolles. 2. El queixal em fa TANT de mal que NO puc concentrar-me ni per fer gargots durant la classe. 3. Tinc altres coses importants que fer, com ara NEDAR, caçar cuques i, sobretot, empipar la meva germana DÈLIA, que és una cosa que sempre m’anima.

Tom Gates is the master of excuses for late homework: dog attacks \- spilt water - lightning... Tom's exercise book is full of his doodles, cartoons and thoughts, as well as comments from his long-suffering teacher, Mr Fullerton. After gaining five merits for his CAMPING SUCKS holiday story, Tom's work starts to go downhill \- which is a pity, as he's desperate to impress Amy Porter, who sits next to him...

In the next hilarious illustrated instalment of Tom Gates, Mr Fullermanhas a class assignment: a family tree! Tom's ready to learnall about the Gates family, his friends and a furry creature (ortwo!).

Back to school, but it's not all bad. We're entering Rooster in a dog show, the School Disco and my birthday are coming up so this term's going to be amazing! Mostly because Delia's not invited to any of these. There's only one small problem with my birthday, Granny Mavis says she's going to cook . . . uh oh!
