This tenth book in the series comes with doodle your own elements to keep Tom Gates fans happy for hours. I drew a smiling tiger with the yellow, with red stripes over the top. From an early age I'd get presents of new pencils or paints - even at secondary school those were the things I loved best, like some Caran D'Ache pencils or some watercolour paper. And my friends thought I was weird, like, 'Was that all you got for Christmas?' My grandson loved it . Had previously bought all the Tom Gates books for my 7 year old grandson and from being a reluctant reader he absolutely loved them., so when “Random Acts of Fun” came out it was a no-brainer. He absolutely loves this one as well.” PerryE PDF / EPUB File Name: Tom_Gates__Super_Good_Skills_Almost__-_Liz_Pichon.pdf, Tom_Gates__Super_Good_Skills_Almost__-_Liz_Pichon.epub In 2019, the Birmingham Stage Company presented a stage play called Tom Gates Live on Stage! that featured the characters in live action.

Mum was very creative - there was always a project going on in the house. She was fantastic at drawing but she had no confidence in her skills; she was also great at crafts - patchwork quilts, pressed flowers, dressmaking, everything. Everything, really! I can honestly say I feel like I have the best job in the world! At the moment I'm writing the next book, and every time I sit down to start a new Tom Gates book it's really exciting to think, 'What can I do now?'Ha! Maybe a bit! When I was young our family used to have holidays in a caravan in Littlehampton and I know my mum certainly never had the best time. She had to do all the same stuff - cooking, looking after us - in a much smaller space!

Tom and Derek are in a band called Dog Zombies, consisting of Tom on guitar, Derek on keyboard, and classmate Norman Watson on drums. I remember listening to the rain in the caravan and hearing my dad snoring at night, but even when the weather wasn't great we always found something to do.

Bands are always falling out with each other. Although that would mean it was quite lonely on tour! Maybe a band like ABBA - great songs, colourful clothes, lots of fun. And we'd eat FAB ice lollies.
