Books Included in This Collection:
Tom Gates: Extra Special Treats
In Extra Special Treats, Tom confronts a winter world where snow becomes a canvas for doodle-powered mischief. The tale blends everyday school life with vivid comic moments, from a snow Rooster plan to a knitting mishap with Granny Mavis. Tom’s warm, self-deprecating humor shines through as he navigates friendship, family, and the occasional prank gone gloriously awry. The doodles heighten the jokes and give young readers a fast, friendly reading rhythm that builds confidence while delivering plenty of giggles.
Tom Gates A Tiny Bit Lucky
A Tiny Bit Lucky follows Tom’s band DOGZOMBIES as they chase a big win in a Rock Weekly Band Battle.
