I love the Tom Gates books. They're so funny and the drawings are really cute and the books show you how to draw like Tom too! ❤😃

Kienna from Year 6, Saltersgate Junior School:

When I first saw this book, I did not know what was going to go on. Tom Gates is about a boy names Tom(as you can tell by the title) who has a pretty strange but normal life. He has a friend called Derek and he and Tom would like to make a band. Tom LOVES to draw little doodles and I personally want to draw like that. 8/10

Isabelle from Year 6:

Not my favourite, but still awesome! It’s fun to read before going to bed and when your a little upset. It’s about a boy called Tom who lives a hilarious life with his mum, dad and annoying older sister Delia. Great read!

I really love Tom Gates books because they make me laugh and they are full of doodles that Tom likes to do and I read his books over and over again and every time if find something different about it.

This book is a diary all about Tom Gates' life, his friends, family and school. The key characters are Tom, Delila and all his friends. I like this book because it's very interesting and genuinely funny. It gives you a good aspect of what life i like at his school. I recommend reading it!
