Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at Some Things)

This takes the form of Tom"s battered homework diary - crammed with his doodles and stories. "Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an "Activity Break"! Which should be fun. As long as I don"t get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse still with ...Marcus Meldrew. Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours while I"m away. Which is annoying. I just hope the only surprise I have when I get home is the new pet that I hear Mum and Dad talking about. Because I"ve always wanted a pet!"
