Tom Gates: Everything's Amazing (Sort Of)
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 9781407193458
Overview:
Back to school, but it’s not all bad in Tom Gates: Everything's Amazing (Sort Of) by Liz Pichon. This BRAND NEW paperback follows Tom as the new term looms with familiar, fizzing energy: Sports Day, the school fair and Tom’s birthday are all coming up, bringing a flurry of plans, surprises and inevitable chaos. The upside? his annoying big sister Delia looks set to be absent from many events, which is already a win in Tom’s book. The flip side? Granny Mavis is threatening to bake a cake that could steal the spotlight (and possibly take over the day). And just when the calendar seems to spin out of control, Mr Keen has invited Dogzombies to perform in front of the entire school, turning ordinary moments into memorable adventures. This is a light, fast-paced read that captures the spirit of school life with warmth, wit and just the right amount of mischief. The paperback format keeps the pace accessible for confident readers building towards chapter books while still delivering the signature Tom Gates voice fans love.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
What makes Tom Gates: Everything's Amazing (Sort Of) stand out is its blend of everyday, relatable events with playful, high-spirited humor. Tom’s world is built on small stakes—events, family dynamics, and school moments—that feel instantly familiar to readers who have navigated a school year themselves. Liz Pichon’s approachable storytelling, brisk chapters and quick-fire humor create a satisfying reading rhythm that invites both new readers and long-time fans back for more. The interplay between Tom’s optimism and the inevitable curveballs—Delia’s absence, Granny Mavis’s cake plot, and the show-stopping Dogzombies performance—delivers warmth, laughs and a sense of belonging in a bustling classroom ecosystem. The result is a book that’s easy to pick up, hard to put down, and perfectly pitched for readers building confidence in sequential reads while enjoying a story that feels genuinely their own.
