About this book

What’s better than another Tom Gates book? Two Tom Gates books in one!

This unique volume includes a hilarious new Tom Gates novella AND a whole bunch of doodle-tastic activities. It’s a must-have for all Tom Gates fans!

It’s Book Week at Oakfield school and everyone is very excited. Mr. Keen says there will be an excellent prize for best costumes worn on Book Day, so suddenly making a good costume is vitally important! Of course Delia’s not much help (as usual). Then Marcus decides that he is a super hero and can’t understand why “Super Marcus” isn’t the best name . . .

PLUS: There’s loads to read, make, and do! In fact, there are 64 pages stuffed full of excellent stuff like drawing guides, fun games, brilliant puzzles, and perfect pranks!

“We like Tom and the exuberant way he illustrates his account of himself with little drawings and embellishments . . . Life occasionally doles out difficulty to Tom Gates . . . our hero may be mortified, but readers ages 9 to 12 won't mind a bit.” —The Wall Street Journal

“Tom Gates can easily be seen as a British cousin to Jeff Kinney’s Greg Heffley . . . Readers who like their fiction heavily illustrated and their heroes mischievous should find it diverting.” —Publishers Weekly

“Will be enjoyed by those who can’t get enough of Jeff Kinney’s ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ books. The engaging illustrations are plentiful and will delight avid and reluctant readers alike.” —School Library Journal

“The handwritten font and cartoon drawings bring Tom’s experiences to life, making his struggles and dreams immensely relatable . . . Tom’s upbeat outlook and everyday trials will have readers laughing out loud and eager for this series’ next installment.” —Booklist
