The fourth title in the bestselling series from the brilliantly talented Liz Pichon. 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 at my Sport’s Day. Shame! Meanwhile Derek, Norman and I keep practicing in DOGZOMBIES so we’re really ready for the school Talent Show.   ABOUT THE SERIES: Written in diary form Full of Tom’s doodles and pictures & his amazing sense of humour The Brilliant World of Tom Gates, was the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize! Perfect gifts for boys & girls who love to laugh themselves silly The first series of The Brilliant World of Tom Gates won the Scottish BAFTA for Entertainment! Love Tom Gates? Don’t miss Liz Pichon’s spectacular Shoe Wars, a laugh-out-loud, gadget-packed adventure!

I got the first book in this series from a friend. I like Tom Gates because he is very funny and has a very annoying older sister, just like me. I the book also helps you with crafts and doodles.

It’s about a kid Tom who has a sister called Delia and In the start of the book his sister surprised him when he came out of shower because she had no sunglasses which she normally wears all the time.

Tom was really funny. Mr. Fullerman was shouting at Tom all the time. This book is extremely funny. I very like it.

03 Jan 2025

It was funny but it wasn’t the best book. It wasn’t as exciting as other books. We have enjoyed other Tom Gates books but it’s not good as Diary of a Wimpy kid!

It was funny when Tom got a comb stuck in his hair and he missed the talent show and when Mr fuller man, Mr sprocket and Mrs worthingtash were pretending to be you3, but Tom thought that he'd said dude3 not you3
