Product description

Bust the boredom out of your week with the help of mighty Tom Gates – the eternal foe of his big sister, the bane of his grumpy teacher… and the Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner! Tom is a master of excuses, expert doodler, story-writer extraordinaire and rock-star in the making. In his wacky journals, you’ll find all sorts of comic craziness to make you groan with glee! Unfortunately, those closest to Tom don’t always understand his genius, starting with his irritating big sister Delia. But as you join Tom in his pranks and rock out with his super-cool band, you’ll see that although Tom’s life isn’t always easy, it IS laugh-out-loud hilarious!

When Liz was little, she loved to draw, paint and make things. Her mum used to say she was very good at making a mess (which is still true today!).

She kept drawing and went to art school, where she earned a degree in graphic design. She worked as a designer and art director in the music industry, and her freelance work has appeared on a wide variety of products.

Liz is the author-illustrator of several picture books. Tom Gates is the first series of books she has written and illustrated for older children. They have won several prestigious awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and the Blue Peter Book Award. The books have been translated into forty-one languages worldwide.
