Tom Gates: Spectacular School Trip (Really.): 17

Product Information

What support is available if my child needs support with managing behaviour or dealing with social situations? Tom's doing everything possible to stay out of trouble but somehow he's got THREE sad faces :( :( :(

Tom is a school going boy who has a lot of struggles with his big-eyed teacher called as mister fullerman. This book of Tom gates has sooooooo many things in it. Tom desperately WANTS to go to the DOODLE WALL on the road called as DOODLE ROAD. Now, what can go wrong in this thing ?? The answer is everything !!!!!! With Tom's grandparents getting married again to the question, CAN I GO TO THE SCHOOL TRIP ?? There's NOTHING that a school grader won't underestand. Would these lapses lead to Tom being omitted from the school excursion? Is there any way Tom can ‘atone’ for his misadventures, if not misdeeds, and redeem himself? The 2012 winner of the Best Book for Younger Readers Red House Children’s Book Award, , Liz Pinchon does a capital job with the plot, narrative and sequence. Tom Gates is equally endearing and enervating. With a bunch of effervescent and egregious friends, every day in Gates’ young life is a life of mystery, mystique and mischief. While having a 11-year-old niece is a blessed advantage, being in constant touch with an eleven-year-old niece who is an inveterate book worm, is a boon! Over the past few days, Annika has made it her objective to introduce me to a phalanx of some compelling children’s books penned by ingenious authors. For a reader whose concept of books for kids has not crossed the periphery of Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton, Dr. Seuss and C.S.Lewis, this has been a period of revelation!

To add to a cascading litany of woes, Tom’s Dad takes Tom, Amy and Derek to what he thinks is the school’s new ‘Doodle Wall’ only to realise upon hindsight that the children have liberally heaped graffiti on a private wall. One of the images being a distorted and unenviable image of Delia, Tom’s stern sister.

Die Story bietet viele Lacher und es ist den Schüler*innen möglich, sich mit Tom und seinem Alltag zu identifizieren. Dieses Buch ist ein Comic Roman, eine abgeschlossene Geschichte, die recht große Teile mit Zeichnungen und Sprechblasen enthält, wie man sie aus Comics oder Graphic Novels kennt. I have a soft spot for this series, so love it when a new book comes out. This one was hilarious. Kids eating bowls full of sugar, caramel doughnuts, cool grandparents and a whole heap of illustrations to boot!” Rania T.
